Not SEC, but a fun topic


One of the greats, and a real nice guy. RIP

Aside from his 30 for 30 appearances and being at every home football game? Sure

I don't thinks some of you understand the meaning of an "Ambassador"

Tyrone Calico or Dewon Brazelton for MTSU

For LSU it's gotta be Shaq or Pistol Pete. Addai and Patrick Peterson also come to mind

Chuck is probably the most well known AU grad given his new role as a talking head with the NBA

Pistol Pete.


he distanced himself from the university until the final years of his life.

Shaq


Best answer regardless of sport.

Patrick Peterson is giving him a run though.

Archie is almost definitely our and one of the SEC's best athletic ambassadors, likely followed by Eli (and Olivia and Cooper) for us. Though, Dexter McCluster is always reppin' and talking OM up too. DMc, Willis, and Terrance Metcalf (whose son is an incoming freshman, which only helps) are probably the three best from the Cutcliffe/Orgeron/Nutt eras not named Manning. These days, Greg Hardy is probably our worst ambassador.

Outside of athletics, that Faulkner dude was an ok ambassador from what I've heard, even though he was never a full time student haha.

Deuce also. And Glen Cannon from Archie era.

I have read Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, but I really like reading short stories in school by MS. native Eudora Welty.
Also Willy Morris ('My Dog Skip' based on one of his works.)

Def Archie

Donte Moncrief is turning into a great one. He always reps ole miss (throws up landshark after touchdowns too) and promotes our current players via social media

I think Laquon will be a great one in the future. Dude truly seems like he loves Ole Miss and I think he will visit Oxford the most out of the big 3. He is hosting a football camp soon and using the money to sponsor 50 scholarships to underprivileged kids
