The Ole Miss Rebels have made several beneficial moves in the transfer portal during this cycle, but one of the players leaving the roster is now planning to transfer to a rival in the state.
Micah Davis, a former wide receiver, return specialist, and occasional running back for the Rebels, is scheduled to transfer to the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, according to a report by 247Sports on Saturday. Davis played one season at Ole Miss after previously being with Air Force and Utah State.
This season, Davis recorded five catches for 57 yards, 19 carries for 45 yards, and 23 kick or punt returns for 215 yards. He arrived at Ole Miss last offseason with the expectation of making a difference in the return game, which was his main focus in 2024.
Nonetheless, he did provide limited contributions as a receiver, and toward the end of the season, he was evaluated at the running back position when the Rebels were looking for a solution in the backfield after Henry Parrish’s injury against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
During his three years in college, Davis has recorded 51 catches for 906 yards. He becomes part of a Southern Miss program that will have a new head coach in 2025, former Marshall coach Charles Huff.
