Shekai Mills-Knight brings SEC-sized power and home-run upside to Ole Miss
Mills-Knight enters the 2026 season as a big-bodied sophomore RB at Ole Miss, listed at 6-1 to 6-3 and about 220 pounds, with just 8 carries for 25 yards as a freshman in 2025.[1][2][3][6] The reason to care is the profile: he was a four-star recruit ranked among the nation’s top backs, praised for his size, frame, and immediate-impact potential, and his background in sprint-heavy athletics hints at burst when he gets moving.[1][7][15] He looks like a fit if your team wants a physical runner with upside, but he is still more projection than proven production after a limited debut season.[3][6]
