‘Doo’ Does the Ivey League: Ole Miss football riding Bentley as lead back in 2024
Quinshon Judkins set a new single-season Ole Miss rushing record two years ago.
Now he’s an Ohio State Buckeye.
But the Rebels aren’t lacking for running back talent. Ole Miss, in the off-season, re-upped veteran Ulysses Bentley, IV, with a fresh NIL deal. The Rebels also added LSU transfer Logan Diggs, and former four-star recruit Kedrick Reescano is waiting in the wings.
Bentley, IV, is expected to lead the room. That is, whenever he gets back on the field. Bentley, IV — who is known to those closest to him as ‘Doo’ — is currently in a walking boot as he recovers from (left) turf toe.
“Once you do a lot of cutting (as a running back), it starts to affect your big toe,” Bentley, IV, said, in a Friday appearance of the ‘Ivey League,’ a weekly multi-platform podcast hosted by third-year Ole Miss star defender Jared Ivey.
“What’s crazy is when I hurt it and went to the doctors and stuff, they told me I played through the whole (2023 season) with it. I’ve never felt any pain at all.”
Bentley, IV, expects to be good to go well in time for the 2024 season.
“I went through surgery and stuff,” he continued. “Luckily, I didn’t have to get any screws or anything. They just pulled the bone out and I’m recovering.”
Upcoming ‘Ivey League’ guests include Florida transfer EDGE Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter and Grove Collective executive director Walker Jones.
