A new coach has joined the offensive staff for Jimbo Fisher, Bobby Petrino and the Texas A&M Aggies.
Ole Miss Rebels running backs coach Marquel Blackwell is departing the Rebels program for the Aggies, On3 reported on Monday.
Blackwell spent three seasons with the Houston Cougars before this past season in Oxford, his only year at Ole Miss.
The Rebels running backs room was a potent force in 2022, spearheaded by Quinshon Judkins who led the team in rushing yards and touchdowns with 1,612 and 16, respectively.
The Aggies got an up close and personal look at Judkins and Blackwell last season, with the rising sophomore rushing 34 times for 205 yards and a touchdown at Kyle Field.
Under Blackwell, Judkins was a First Team AP All-SEC selection as well as AP SEC Newcomer of the Year He also eclipsed Ole Miss records for rushing yards and touchdowns in 2022 en route to winning the C-Spire Conerly Trophy, awarded annually to the top football player in the state of Mississippi.
Blackwell also spent time at West Virginia, Toldeo, and Western Kentucky as a running backs coach, as well as Flordia and South Florida in other various assistant positions.
