Ole Miss pulls off the rare double flip, landing Miami (Ohio) running back Rashad Amos
Ole Miss continues to build a championship roster via the NCAA Transfer Portal. On Saturday, Lane Kiffin and Co., added Miami (Ohio) running back Rashad Amos. The former Redhawk initially committed to Mississippi State before flipping to Colorado.
Once some uncertainty showed for recent running back commit Jacory Merritt, Ole Miss quickly got on the horn and contacted Amos. He visited Oxford, Miss., earlier this week and quickly announced his flipped commitment.
The former South Carolina transfer played in 13 games with the Gamecocks before leaving for Oxford, Ohio. The 6-foot-2, 234 pound prospect then had a breakout year in 2023 with the RedHawks.
Amos rushed for 1,075 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. He ranked third in the Mid-American Conference in rushing yards and finished second in touchdowns. The newest Rebel will have two years of eligibility remaining.
