A Doak Walker Player National Player of the Week awardee, the leading rusher in the SEC and a pass blocking merchant, Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy has transformed the Rebel run game from an afterthought last season to a force to be reckoned with to start this season.

“I mean, (Kewan Lacy’s) just really good, you know?” Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said following the Kentucky game, played in Lexington, Ky., on Saturday, Sept. 6. “And, we had Quinshon (Judkins) for those two years, and he’s a great running back. But then we went a year without it (last season). You can see it’s hard. It’s hard in the SEC when the passing game is not working great or you’re not protecting,” 

On Sept. 6, Ole Miss fought off Kentucky’s upset bid and held on for the 30-23 win — due in large part to Lacy’s efforts.

Lacy, a former Missouri Tiger, rushed 28 times for 138 yards and a touchdown against the Wildcats. Ole Miss found itself down 10-0 early in the second quarter when quarterback Austin Simmons connected with wide receiver Harrison Wallace for a 55-yard strike on fourth-and-1. Lacy then powered in Ole Miss’ first score of the game seconds later.

Lacy’s vision, resilience and elusiveness are impressive, but perhaps his most underrated trait is his pass blocking.
