Lacy Out, Backs Step Up for Rebels | Ole Miss Rebels Football News

Ole Miss’ star running back Kewan Lacy exits the season opener against Louisville with a thigh injury, raising questions about his availability for this weekend’s game against Charlotte — a perfect chance for backups Makhi Frazier and JT Lindsey to shine. With Lacy carrying over 300 times last year, the Rebels brought in Frazier (500+ yards at MSU) and Lindsey (LSU transfer) to share the load, but both combined for just 52 yards on seven carries in the opener. Joshua Dye and Shekai Mills-Knight also remain viable options, especially with Dye boasting 1,800+ yards and 28 TDs from Southern Utah. If Lacy sits out, Ole Miss’ depth could be the key to keeping momentum alive — and watching these backups step up could be the story of the week.
