OXFORD, MS — In a headline-grabbing power move that has fans and alumni erupting with excitement, Ole Miss has officially named former NFL star and Rebel legend Deuce McAllister as the program’s new Assistant General Manager — and the college football world is absolutely buzzing.
The announcement, dropped like a bombshell early this morning, signals a bold new era in Oxford. McAllister, a two-time Pro Bowl running back and one of the most beloved figures in Ole Miss history, is returning to the sidelines — this time, in a high-impact front office role that could reshape the future of Rebel football.
“This isn’t just a hire — it’s a statement,” said one source close to the program. “Deuce brings elite-level experience, recruiting credibility, and unmatched passion for Ole Miss. He’s a walking blueprint for what it means to wear the red and blue.”
McAllister starred for the Rebels from 1997–2000, finishing his college career as the school’s all-time leading rusher before embarking on a dominant 8-year career with the New Orleans Saints, where he became a household name and fan favorite. Now, over two decades later, he’s back where it all began — but this time, he’s calling the shots behind the scenes.
As Assistant GM, McAllister will be heavily involved in player development, recruiting strategy, and NIL alignment, bringing a pro-level perspective that’s expected to energize both the locker room and the fan base.
Social media exploded within minutes of the news, with phrases like “GOAT returns!”, “Game-changer hire!”, and “Deuce is loose again!” trending across Rebel Nation.
Could McAllister be the missing link to take Ole Miss to the next level in the SEC arms race?
Insiders say head coach Lane Kiffin was instrumental in bringing Deuce back into the fold — and that the move could pay dividends on and off the field.
🔥 One thing is clear: The Rebels didn’t just make a hire. They made history.
🏈 Welcome home, Deuce. Oxford just got a whole lot louder.
Stay tuned — because the new era of Ole Miss Football starts NOW.
