Old receiving friend may be returning to Ole Miss

According to Kyle Veazey of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, Grandy is currently enrolled in classes at Ole Miss and has been working out with some of his former teammates. Veazey spoke to head coach Houston Nutt, who said a return was indeed a possibility.

“His status hasn’t changed yet,” Nutt said, “but there’s some development there that possibly could get him back in there with us.”

So far in his career, Grandy has 24 receptions for 267 yards, but it’s in the return game, and even the running game, where he really made his mark in Oxford. Grandy averaged almost 21 yards on kickoff returns in 2010, while also returning one punt for a touchdown for good measure. He’s carried the ball 29 times for 188 yards the past two seasons, and actually had more touchdowns on the ground (2) than he had through the air (1).

Grandy was a three-star member of the Rebels’ 2009 recruiting class.
