Ole Miss to Celebrate Life of Chucky Mullins

Ole Miss announced today that Coliseum Drive will be renamed Chucky Mullins Drive, and the Rebels will celebrate the life of Chucky Mullins the weekend Ole Miss hosts Memphis (September 27).



Mullins will be inducted into the M-Club Hall of Fame that weekend, and the Rebels will wear special helmets honoring Mullins' No. 38 for the game. This seasons marks the 25th year since Mullins broke his neck while making a hit against Vanderbilt.

ESPN will air a documentary about Mullins on the new SEC Network this fall as well.



I am glad to see the steps being taken by the University to honor his memory. Mullins is one of the most courageous and inspirational figures in Ole Miss football history, and it seems more than fitting that Manning Way will soon be accompanied by Chucky Mullins Drive.
