Breaking news: An open letter from Rebel Run to fans and entire ole miss community which will leave fans speechless…
As I sit down to write this letter, my heart is full of emotion. It is hard to put into words the gratitude, respect, and appreciation I feel for each of you. The past few years have been an incredible journey for me, and none of it would have been possible without the unwavering support and loyalty of the Ole Miss community. This open letter is not just for our fans, but for everyone who embodies the spirit of Rebel Nation—students, alumni, faculty, staff, and every single person who bleeds red and blue.
A Journey Rooted in Tradition and Heart
When I first arrived on campus, I was just a young player with big dreams and aspirations. But soon, I realized that playing for Ole Miss was more than just about football—it was about joining a family, a tradition, and a history that runs deep. From the moment I put on that Rebel uniform, I knew I wasn’t just representing myself, I was representing all of you, the fans and the entire community that makes Ole Miss so special.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience some unforgettable highs and challenging lows. But through it all, Rebel Nation has never wavered. You’ve been there every step of the way, through the cheers and the tears, through the victories and the defeats. The energy, the passion, and the love you bring to every game, every season, every moment—it’s what keeps me going, what pushes me to give everything I have on the field.
Gratitude to the Fans: The Heartbeat of Rebel Nation
There’s something indescribable about the way you show up for us. Whether it’s a home game at Vaught-Hemingway or an away game thousands of miles from Oxford, the sea of red and blue is a constant reminder that Rebel Nation is always behind us. The deafening roars from the stands, the chants, the signs, the tailgates—it’s all part of what makes being a part of this program so incredible. You are the heartbeat of this team, and I am forever grateful for the love you give us. Every fan who travels with us, every student who packs the stadium, every alum who bleeds red and blue—your support is why we strive to be the best.
To My Teammates, Coaches, and Staff: A Family Built on Trust and Hard Work
I wouldn’t be where I am today without the dedication and work ethic of my teammates and the guidance of our coaches. Every player on this team has worked tirelessly to get where we are, and every coach has given everything to make sure we’re prepared to succeed. But more than just X’s and O’s, it’s the bond we share as brothers, the trust we’ve built over countless practices, and the love for the game that makes us a family.
To our coaches: thank you for believing in me, for pushing me to be better, and for never letting me settle for anything less than greatness. To my teammates: you’ve been there for me when I’ve needed it most, and I will forever cherish our time together. You are all my brothers, and together, we will continue to push this program to new heights.
Looking to the Future: Continuing the Legacy
As we move forward, I am more committed than ever to the mission we’ve set for ourselves as a team. We are building something special here, and with each game, each season, we will continue to work hard and grow stronger. But I ask one thing from you, Rebel Nation: keep showing up. Continue to support us through thick and thin. Your belief in us, your unwavering support, is the fuel that keeps us pushing forward.
In closing, I want to thank each and every one of you for your love and support. You have made this journey unforgettable, and I am honored to represent you and this great university every time I step on that field. Together, we are more than just a team—we are a community, and we are Rebel Nation.
With deep appreciation and gratitude,
Rebel Run
