Randall Mackey a Wildcard For the Wild Rebel
Originally signing as part of the Rebels 2008 class, Mackey failed to qualify, and spent the last two years lighting up JUCO defenses for the East Mississippi CC Lions.
After a 2009 season that saw the Lions finish fourth in the national rankings and found Mackey named First Team JUCO All-American at quarterback—Auburn super-recruit Cam Newton was Honorable Mention for comparison—those in and around the Ole Miss program were anxious to get the versatile Mackey to Oxford for the Spring Session.
But when the tally for Mackey’s coursework revealed he still needed an algebra class before he could enroll at Ole Miss, the opportunities for Mackey to join the team for Spring Practice and get into the Rebel playbook were blown.
