Breaking news: the ole miss head coach has decommit a 5-star player from the team due to his…
Diggs, who last season rushed for 653 yards and seven touchdowns as LSU’s top back, isn’t even needed for this weekend. Ole Miss has survived on the ground following the loss of Henry Parrish Jr. thanks to a combination of Matt Jones, Domonique Thomas and Bentley.
The return of the senior — who could return in 2025 with an injury redshirt — is essential for the postseason. Ole Miss remains one of the FBS top rosters, ranking top 10 in total offense, defense and scoring.
Depth plays a factor in all success. Maybe Diggs’ addition late in the year starts that conversation?
Kickoff from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium this weekend is scheduled for 11 a.m. CT. The game will be nationally televised on ABC
It’s been fun to see him out there,” Dart said before the game. “I know it’s been a long time for him. It’s something that we’ve all really be anticipated. He looks great and it’s going to be fun to have him in the backfield and watch him make plays.”
Diggs transferred in from LSU back in the offseason but after suffering an injury in this past January’s Citrus Bowl, he underwent surgery. That procedure took him out of action and out of the plans when it came to the Ole Miss run game for 2024.
Since the last month of the regular season there were rumblings that Diggs was trying to make a return but when or how effective was unsure. November came and went and Diggs did not make an appearance.
Throughout the December bowl practices Diggs has been seen wearing a knee brace but also taking reps with the rest of the running b
acks.
Lane Kiffin made his weekly appearance on Reb Talk with David Kellum Thursday night, and the head coach talked about facing Arkansas, the status of some of the injured Rebels, and what his team will need to do to prevail in Fayetteville.
Kiffin perhaps hinted that fans could potentially see transfer running back Logan Diggs on the field this season. The former LSU player suffered an ACL injury in the Tigers’ bowl game following the 2023 season, subsequently undergoing surgery, and has not played yet this year.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Diggs played two seasons at Notre Dame before transferring to LSU. Last season, he rushed for 653 yards on 119 carries and scored seven touchdowns for the Tigers.
