Austin takes circuitous route back to UM
This was 23 years ago when Billy Brewer was the Ole Miss football coach and Kent Austin was a record-breaking Rebels quarterback who wanted to play in the NFL.
Skeptical, I asked Brewer if Austin had NFL potential and Brewer answered, “I don’t know if he can play quarterback in the NFL but he might someday own an NFL team.”
Austin was a straight-A business administration honors student, a top NCAA post-graduate scholarship winner and a potential Rhodes Scholar.
