Ole Miss Spirit welcomes Billy Embody to team covering the Rebels
We’re excited to welcome Billy Embody, an SEC veteran reporter, to The Ole Miss Spirit! Billy joins the site covering the Rebels for On3 after covering LSU and SMU, where he graduated from in 2014.
For the last six months, Billy has worked for On3 as the SEC GM, working behind the scenes to lead growth for our site and other SEC sites. Now is a great time for him to jump on board with The Ole Miss Spirit at an exciting time for Rebel fans as he moves back into a full-time writer role!
Billy’s covered SMU since 2012 when he was a student following a stint as a walk-on quarterback in 2010. The Tampa, Fla. native graduated from SMU and worked for Scout, 247Sports and On3Sports. In 2016, he added LSU to his responsibilities, getting his first opportunity to cover the SEC. At SMU, Billy was also a Nancy Ann and Ray L. Hunt Leadership Scholar, president of Phi Gamma Delta and active in SMU TV and the Daily Campus.
Billy got his start in football working for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in high school then the Washington Redskins in football operations for five seasons. From recruiting to transfer portal to team, Billy will bring a bit of everything to Ole Miss Spirit, including an active addition to our message board.
Welcome Billy, his wife Michelle, and their 7-month old son, Jack, the Ole Miss Spirit!
On3 Founder and CEO Shannon Terry: “We’re pleased to announce that Billy Embody will be joining OMSpirit full-time. Billy’s track record of building engaged communities around SMU and LSU athletics aligns perfectly with our vision for OMSpirit. This move reflects our commitment to investing in the Ole Miss market and providing Rebel fans with the best possible coverage.”
