Ole Miss' Grandy taking on Punt Return duty

With Marshay Green gone, Grandy has taken over the punt return duties, said special teams coordinator James Shibest. Markeith Summers is the next best candidate, but that could change, Shibest said. Ole Miss spent much of Friday's practice working on special teams, preparing for the Sept. 4 season opener against Jacksonville State. "It was a pretty thorough day today, with organizing all special teams, substitutions, you try to go over everything you can think of from the last play of the game, the last second to victory formation," said Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt. "We'll do a rehearsal today and go A through Z." In addition to Grandy and Summers, others in the mix to return kicks include Derrick Herman, running backs Brandon Bolden and Jeff Scott and cornerback Frank Crawford. The Rebels will have a dress rehearsal for the Jacksonville State game today at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium."We'll put them in situations from kicking and punting to everything, to make sure we get 11 out on the field and make sure everybody's paying attention," Nutt said.
