5 Reasons Cam Akers Can Win A Heisman at Ole Miss

Clinton QB/RB Cam Akers is high on the Ole Miss Rebels recruiting list. I believe if he decides to play in Oxford, he can eventually end up with a Heisman Trophy.

Most of the entire country is waiting to find out where prized Clinton High School senior Cam Akers will attend college. Everyone wants him in their backfield. He is rated by most agencies as the best running back prospect in the country. There have even been lively debates as to whether he is the best in Mississippi high school history.

Ole Miss has made his final cut. Akers is close to making an announcement. He plans on being an early enrollee, so whatever school he chooses will have the benefit of having him for Spring practice.

The Rebels would be a great landing spot for Akers. The argument about the offense being conducive to his talent is a weak one. When you have a once in a generation talent like Akers, you adjust your offense toward his skill. Therefore, he doesn’t have to worry about getting touches.

After a heartbreaking loss to No. 16 West Virginia in their last outing, Ole Miss (7-2) came out on fire in the first half shooting 48.5 percent and building a 38-point halftime lead on the strength of 13 points from Muhammad and Shandricka Sessom (Byhalia, Miss.) in the first two quarters.

Shelby Gibson (Murfreesboro, Tenn.), making her first career start, got the first field goal for Ole Miss as the 8:37 mark and scored five of Ole Miss’ first nine points ad Ole Miss pulled ahead, 11-0 forcing the Warhawks to call a timeout at the 6:06 mark to try and stop the Rebel momentum.

The Warhawks timeout didn’t stop the Rebels offense as Ole miss ran its lead to 19-0 highlighted by triples from Sessom and Muhammad. The Warhawks got on the board at the 2:45 mark with a bucket underneath, but Ole Miss started to heat up from long range with two treys from Torri Lewis (Olive Branch, Miss.) as Ole Miss took a 31-5 lead at the end of the first quarter.

The Ole Miss offense didn’t slow much in the second quarter, extending their lead to 34 points at the media timeout. The Rebels held the Warhawks to 4-of-24 shooting (.167 percent) for the half and the 38-point scoring margin for the first half is the fourth largest in a half.

Bretta Hart (Poplarville, Miss.) provided a spark off the bench with 10 points in the third quarter. The Rebels held the Warhawks without a field goal in the fourth quarter as they extended their home unbeaten streak to six straight.

Five members of the Ole Miss rifle team shot in the Mississippi Junior Olympics yesterday, at the Patricia C. Lamar National Guard Readiness Center. The state match is the qualifier for the National Junior Olympics to be held at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado in April 2017.

Ole Miss freshman Jillian Tyler won the Mississippi State Junior Olympics women’s smallbore rifle championship with a 562 score and placed second in air rifle with a 388. As state champions, Tyler receive an automatic invitation to Nationals.

Sophomore Harley Gardner turned in a 579 smallbore score. However, being a Texas resident, Gardner was not eligible for the Mississippi title, but did earn an At-Large invitation to Nationals.

The remaining three shooters, Alana Kelly, Hayley Carroll and Samantha Sandifer will be looking for At-Large invitations, that will be issued on a space available basis at the conclusion of all state competitions.

“I am hopeful that the other Ole Miss shooters who competed today will also be invited to Nationals,” Beasley said. “Their scores are not want we hoped, but based on recent history, I think each has a chance of qualifying for Nationals.”

The Rebels will return to action January 14th to take on Kentucky and Murray State.
