LIVE! From Ole Miss Training Camp: Where was Spencer Sanders?
In this edition of Talk of Champions, Ben Garrett and Chuck Rounsaville of the Ole Miss Spirit/On3 have a full rundown on a busy day in Rebel football, from a training camp practice missing Spencer Sanders, to a media tour of the Manning Center and our first and only meeting with Rebel coordinators Pete Golding and Charlie Weis, Jr., in 2023.
Ole Miss returns to practice on Saturday, when the Rebels will hold their first scrimmage of the preseason. Kickoff inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT and is closed to the public but open to the media.
Associate head coach Derrick Nix will serve as head coach during the scrimmage. Lane Kiffin will coach wide receivers.
“Last year, there was some good, some bad in it,” Ole Miss co-offensive coordinator and QBs coach Charlie Weis, Jr., said Friday following practice and in advance of the scrimmage. “Getting back with coach Kiffin again and getting back in that flow (with camp) has been really good.
“We really took a lot of time this off-season to really attack some areas we were not as effective in last year. Looking back at last season, where we as coaches could improve. To really study our roster and know our personnel.
“It’s really fun this year, since we have a lot of guys coming back from a year ago. We’ve got a lot better understanding of what they can do.”

Here’s a brief excerpt from the extended podcast conversation.
CHUCK: Spencer’s having to complete a course to be eligible. Just one course. Before anybody jumps on what I’m saying, this will not graduate him. He will not graduate based on this course. This will just get him eligible.
That’s No. 1 for him — get eligible.
BEN: Do you think it’s more or less likely Sanders is going to be an Ole Miss Rebel come football season? Where are you right now?
CHUCK: Oh, more likely. I think it’s almost 100 percent. I don’t think he can transfer unless he goes to FCS. He’d have to graduate to go to a Power 5 university.
He’s here.
