This dude wouldn't bat an eye if they built a statue of Jayden Daniels who led LSU to a mighty Citrus bowl win.

The Heisman is the most prestigious individual award in college athletics

5th year senior Tim Elko who didn’t get drafted until the 10th round wasn’t even a Golden Spikes finalist

Nobody is saying don’t appreciate the guy. He was definitely instrumental in bringing Ole Miss a championship. Hell,a statue down the road probably wouldn’t have been that crazy.

But I still can’t recall any college sports program putting up a statue of an athlete only 2 years after he left the school. Why are Ole Miss fans butthurt that I found it a little weird?
