Ole Miss’ Engram Named John Mackey TE of the Week
The senior from Powder Springs, Georgia, had four catches for 75 receiving yards and a touchdown leading Ole Miss to a 37-27 victory over Georgia Southern. Ole Miss was up just 24-21 when Engram’s touchdown pushed the lead up to 31-21 and ultimately ended up as the game’s deciding score. Engram is the 10th and final John Mackey Tight End of the Week for the 2016 season. The eight John Mackey Award semifinalists will be announced at www.johnmackeyaward.com on Monday, November 14.
Engram is the nation’s leader among tight ends with 5.9 catches per game and 86.1 receiving yards per game. He tops all Southeastern Conference players, regardless of position, in receiving yards. In SEC play, he ranks first with 90.8 yards per game and second with 6.8 catches per game, while scoring four touchdowns. He has found the end zone in seven of nine games overall.
The 2016 John Mackey recipient will be announced on December 7, 2016 and then presented live on December 8 at The Home Depot College Football Awards Red Carpet Show on ESPNU. Other key dates include the announcement of the 2016 Mackey semifinalists on November 14 and the 2016 Mackey finalists on November 22.
All future announcements can be found at www.johnmackeyaward.com, on the official Twitter account: @JohnMackeyAward and also on the official Facebook page: www.facebook.com/JohnMackeyAward.
The John Mackey Tight End of the Week is an honor distinct and different from the annual John Mackey Award. This weekly honor was started in 2004 to draw attention to individual play by Tight Ends during the active season. The Tight End of the Week acknowledgment does not have a direct bearing on the final John Mackey Award selection process. The John Mackey Tight End of the Week honor will run until the announcement of the eight semifinalists.
The John Mackey Award is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA) which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football. The 22 awards boast over 722 years of tradition-selection excellence. Visit http://www.NCFAA.org to learn more.
The Friends of John Mackey are responsible for the administration of the John Mackey Award and the John Mackey Award Selection Committee. Please visit www.johnmackeyaward.com for all Mackey Award related information.

Men’s Golf Signs Three In-State Standouts

“With the way that recruiting is in our sport, we are recruiting two and three years ahead of when they actually get to school. This recruiting class was my first priority when coach Kyle Ellis and I were hired two and a half years ago. We knew that we had to make a big splash and send a message that we could recruit the elite players in the country and we believe that we have accomplished that with this class. I can’t thank Coach Ellis enough for his efforts in making this happen.”
Malloy inked two Jackson Prep products in Miller and Wegener. The duo combined to lead Jackson Prep to Class AAAA State Championships in 2014 and 2016, where Miller finished second in those years while Wegener won the individual championship in 2016.
“Charlie has had as good of a junior career as anyone that we have recruited here at Ole Miss,” said Malloy. “I look for him to come in and contribute right away. His record speaks for itself and I know that this is a dream come true for him as he has always been an Ole Miss fan.”
Miller is the first in the history of Mississippi junior golf to become a three-time champion of the Mississippi Boys Amateur. He was selected to the 2016 Best of MSPreps All-State Boys First Team and qualified for the 2014 and 2015 U.S. Junior Amateur. The Jackson, Mississippi native was one of twelve candidates selected as a 2016 AJGA Transamerica Scholastic Junior All-American. Miller is part of the National Honor Society, Cum Laude Society and Chi Alpha Mu.
Wegener was also a first-team selection for the Best of MSPreps All-State Boys golf team. He also qualified for the 2016 U.S. Junior Amateur and finished tied for second in the 2016 Mississippi Boys Amateur.
“Cecil has flown under the radar for most of his junior career,” said Malloy. “He is a fierce competitor on the course and I think he is going to surprise some people once he gets on campus.”
Liddon, a Yazoo City, MS native attends Manchester Academy and was named to the All-State Boys Amateur second team in 2016. He is a multi-sport athlete at Manchester Academy, lettering in golf and basketball.
“Matt was the first player to commit once I got the job here,” said Malloy. “He really bought into the vision we had and it has been a great fit. His best golf is ahead of him and I know that he will make a tremendous impact on this program right away.”
“Our goal is to find the best players in the world that we feel can help our program be successful,” said Malloy. “We are very fortunate that we didn’t have to leave the state of Mississippi to find those players in this class. It’s always a little bit sweeter when you win with guys from here in your state.”
Ole Miss tees off their spring season in Puerto Rico on February 19th. Fans can follow live stats by downloading the Ole Miss Athletics mobile app or at the Golfstat website.

Ole Miss Football: Pellerin May Be the Best Choice For the Rebels Now
The season-ending injury to Chad Kelly has sent the Ole Miss football team into scramble mode. Now the coaching staff have to decide whether to go with red-shirt freshman Jason Pellerin as the new starter or pull the red-shirt off of highly recruited five star Shea Patterson.
There is much speculation to what Coach Hugh Freeze may decide to do. Every fan has an opinion as to what should happen. However, there is no way to know what is the right decision. Plus ultimately it will be up to what the coaches feel is best for now and the future.
