Not Archie or Eli Manning? Tim Tebow touts Matt Corral as best Ole Miss
quarterback ever





NOT ARCHIE OR ELI MANNING? TIM TEBOW TOUTS MATT CORRAL AS BEST OLE MISS
QUARTERBACK EVER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Erik Hall   | Mississippi Clarion Ledger


ESPN college football analyst Tim Tebow was on "SEC Now" on Wednesday during the
2022 Southeastern Conference Media Days. 



Tebow was on a panel with analysts Greg McElroy and Takeo Spikes.

They were discussing which SEC football team had the most to replace in 2022,
and Tebow pointed to Ole Miss.

"I'm really interested to see what Ole Miss looks like," Tebow said. "It's such
a successful season last year, but you're losing (offensive coordinator) Jeff
Lebby. I think that's a huge loss. And then, you're also trying to replace
probably the best quarterback in school history — and you're doing it with two
very different guys. One that is a talented pocket passer. The other, Jaxson
Dart, is very talented but didn't have a good spring game and still has to
figure a few things out. So that's a lot of question marks for me, but I still
think they can figure it out. They've got enough talent to still be very
scary." 

Matt Corral is the quarterback that Tebow referred to as "probably the best
quarterback in school history."




Corral started all 13 games for Ole Miss in 2021. He threw for 3,349 yards and
20 touchdowns. He rushed for 614 yards and 11 touchdowns. In 2021, Ole Miss
football went 10-3 and reached the Sugar Bowl. 

The two Ole Miss quarterbacks with their jerseys retired by Ole Miss are Archie
and Eli Manning. Former Ole Miss defensive back Chucky Mullins is the only other
Ole Miss player with his jersey retired. 

Eli Manning, who played at Ole Miss from 2000-03, finished third in Heisman
Trophy voting in 2003. Eli's dad Archie Manning, who played at Ole Miss from
1968-70, finished fourth in 1969 Heisman Trophy voting and third in 1970 Heisman
Trophy voting.

Corral finished seventh in Heisman Trophy voting in 2021.

The Carolina Panthers selected Corral with the 30th pick in the third round of
the 2022 NFL Draft.
