Lacy Says ‘Relax’ to New Ole Miss Receivers
The Rebels’ star running back Kewan Lacy took the pressure off a revamped wide receiver corps at SEC Media Days in Tampa. With Deuce Alexander returning and Syracuse transfer Johntay Cook II joining the unit, Lacy praised their potential after breakout seasons. Alexander hauled in 44 passes for 684 yards and two touchdowns in 2025, while Cook tallied 45 receptions for 549 yards and two scores. Coach Pete Golding’s first-year approach has injected fresh energy into Ole Miss’s offense. Despite an explosive backfield pairing Lacy and quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, the veteran ‘backs believe solid play from their new targets is crucial to relaunching the Rebels into playoff contention.
In a shocking turn of events, Kewan Lacy has apparently discovered the ancient art of optimism. Sources confirm that after staring into a mirror and chanting “New receivers, new hope,” he’s unleashed a tidal wave of positivity on campus. Meanwhile, fans are stocking panic rooms just in case this newfound confidence spirals out of control. Rumor has it Coach Golding is now selling “Calm Down, It’s Just Football” T-shirts at the bookstore. As for Alexander and Cook II, word is they’re required to wear anxiety bracelets to practice—just to keep Lacy’s pep talks from driving everyone completely mad.
Rebels Dance Around Questions on Lane Kiffin
Returning Ole Miss players, including running back Kewan Lacy, Trinidad Chambliss and Will Echoles, politely dodged inquiries about their former head coach Lane Kiffin at SEC Media Days. Lacy insisted he “had zero interest” in discussing Kiffin, while acknowledging recruitment overtures from LSU. Defensive coordinator Pete Golding encouraged the players to focus on legacy over salary, warning against chasing the next big check elsewhere. Chambliss and Echoles described Kiffin as experienced and intense, though they refrained from deep praise. Kiffin himself later expressed regret over a messy Ole Miss exit, wishing he’d handled his departure more gracefully. College GameDay plans to broadcast from Oxford for his return.
In a textbook example of Southern hospitality, Ole Miss’s star trio has mastered the art of the diplomatic shrug—an advanced maneuver in collegiate athletics. Lacy, who seems to have enrolled in “How to Avoid Coach Talk 101,” refused to step into any Kiffin-themed potholes. Pete Golding, meanwhile, unveiled his new motivational tactic: Google Shame. He encourages players to type “Lane Kiffin” into search engines until they cry. And Kiffin? He’s busy writing apology-themed haikus and considering life as a peaceful tea sommelier. Fans are bracing for College GameDay to show up, presumably to capture the moment someone finally yells “What about Kiffin?!”
