Bousfield said the TeachLivE program was originally created for people who already had degrees in other areas, but were about to teach.

Since its inception, TeachLivE has expanded to include undergraduate students and has been implemented at over 85 campuses nationwide. UM was one of the first 10 universities to pilot the technology.

“I knew some of the people who had been working on and developing it, and when I saw it for the first time, I thought it was one of the greatest things in teacher education to

Mississippi’s football program was cited by the NCAA in nearly half of the 28 rules violations levied against the school in the Notice of Allegations the university recently received, said a person with knowledge of the investigation.

The person said Tuesday that 13 allegations involve the football program, and nine of those occurred during current coach Hugh Freeze’s tenure. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

The violations are a mix of Level I — which the NCAA considers most serious — and Level II and III. Many have already been self-reported by the school.

The school’s women’s basketball and track and field programs are also involved in the investigation.

Ole Miss has been under investigation since 2012 when women’s basketball coach Adrian Wiggins and two assistants were fired after a school investigation found academic and recruiting misconduct. Two players were ruled ineligible and the school self-imposed a one-year postseason ban.

Ole Miss has 90 days to re-

The UM School of Education is using a program that allows teachers-in-training to practice classroom skills in a virtual setting before sending them into local elementary and secondary schools.

The simulated TeachLivE classroom consists of an 80inch monitor with five student avatars. Each avatar has his or her own personality.

“All five avatar children are actually controlled by somebody in Florida, an actor or actress,” Dean of the School of Education David Rock said.

“They’re set up with equipment so that if the actor raises his hand in Florida, the avatar child will raise his hand on the screen.”

The animated students give teachers-in-training a full array of challenges they would find in real-life classrooms, from disinterested kids to overly participatory ones and children who speak English as a second language. The avatars include Sean, who is very talkative and distracted, and Maria, who tends to be quiet and needs to be pushed into engagement, among others.

Taylor Bousfield is the current director of research and

development for the TeachLivE program at the University of Central Florida, where it was created 10 years ago.

“No students are hurt in the making of our teachers,” Bousfield said jokingly.

Bousfield said the point of the program is to ensure that learning teachers don’t distract real students or accidentally do or say something detrimental to a student’s education. It’s similar to a flight simulator, where would-be pilots test their skills in a game of flight before actually taking a jet up three miles in the air and then landing it safely, Bousfield said.

Committee to vote on Vardaman resolution in near future JENNIFER LOTT

The Associated Student Body Senate met in a committee session to discuss ideas and issues on campus, including the resolution concerning the name of Vardaman Hall Tuesday night.

John Brahan, ASB vice president, discussed the proper protocol for a resolution to come to the senate floor.

“The birth and/or death of a resolution starts in committee,” Brahan said. “This particular resolution regarding Vardaman Hall must be debated, voted on and passed through the committee on Inclusion and Cross-Cultural

Engagement before coming to the senate floor. Until the Vardaman resolution goes through the aforementioned process, ASB Senate will not be debating it.”

Chase Moore, the chairman of the Inclusion and Cross-Cultural Engagement committee, has the responsibility of determining the docket for the committee.

“The statement in the Tuesday edition (of the Daily Mississippian) was not put out by the co-authors,” Moore said. “We weren’t aware of an article coming out about the resolution before discussion from co-authors and the committee. From this point on, as

#BlackLivesMatter versus #AllLivesMatter KAYPOUNYERS MAYE

thedmopinion@gmail.com

Last semester, several departments and student organizations on campus hosted an “Are You Ready?” dialogue to discuss the ongoing debate between “#BlackLivesMatter” and “#AllLivesMatter”. Much of the evening’s debate centered on understanding the social implications of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

As an avid follower of this movement, I was quite intrigued by the repetition of language from both aisles. On the #BlackLivesMatter side, supporters were angered that #AllLivesMatter supporters devalued their right to specify that the black community should be the focus of social advocacy. On the #AllLivesMatter side, supporters were angered that the #BlackLivesMatter supporters promoted a one-sided agenda THE DAILY

that explicitly excludes other races. This combative back-and-forth eventually became unbearable, as neither side was willing to put their guns down.

Upon exiting, I began to wonder why the dialogue bothered me so much. Don’t get me wrong; I’m all down for passionate advocacy.

You do you. However, I’ve always felt as though continuous arguing indicates an untapped realization.

For me, the #BlackLivesMatter versus #AllLivesMatter debate has deeper implications than merely social discrepancy. Part of the reason this debate continues to be such a hot topic is because we have let our use of language bite us in the behind. To illustrate this point, I will give a crash course in literary theory.

Jacques Derrida, a 20th and 21st-century French cultural theorist, formulated the theory of binary opposition. His work emphasizes the idea that related

words work in opposition to each other, thus creating a hierarchy between the two terms. As an obvious example, I will illustrate this idea with the terms “black” and “white”. Being opposites (in the minds of many), these words can be seen as perpetual references to the other. The term “white” has been historically associated with the purity, cleanliness and, quite obviously, European supremacy. On the other hand, the term “black” is understood to invoke darkness, dirtiness and mystery.

These two terms are contradicting and referencing each other.

How does this relate to the #BlackLivesMatter versus #AllLivesMatter debate? I can explain.

As previously stated, many #AllLivesMatter proponents disagree with the exclusionary language of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. By explicitly saying “black”, the language causes some to think of the term in the way it

opposes “white”. This binary opposition makes us believe that one term cancels the other. Thus, the problem lies in our language and our reliance on the linguistic system.

We must learn that words are misleading because of the slippery connotations they carry. This is not to say #BlackLivesMatter is wrong in using such language; of course not. My argument simply shows how language can fail us or how we tend to misinterpret language in hazardous ways.

I do not wish to make this article an end-all, be-all of the #BlackLivesMatter versus #AllLivesMatter debate. That would be a lofty pursuit. However, I do hope this calls us to think more critically about language and how it functions (or fails) in our society.

Winter Institute: Building diversity and equity CHELSEA SCOTT

ccscott4@go.olemiss.edu

When William Winter assumed the office of governor for the state of Mississippi in 1980, education became his main concern. At the time, Mississippi did not fund public kindergarten nor mandatory school attendance, and it was scarcely a decade removed from integration. Five decades later, a UM organization bearing the name of the governor and UM alumnus continues his efforts for equality in the academic arena.

The University’s William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation works to support racial equality at the local, state and national levels for more than a decade.

Today, the Winter Institute’s work is divided into community, youth and academic branches.

“The community work is where the institute really started; that mostly reaches an adult community-based audience throughout the state and we go where the community invites us in,” said April Grayson, community building coordinator for the Institute’s Welcome Table.

School officials and legal counsel have not released the notice because they believe the documents should remain confidential while the investigation continues.

Some of the NCAA issues involving the football program are already known.

Left tackle Laremy Tunsil was suspended seven games during the past season after the NCAA ruled he received several improper benefits, including the use of three loaner cars over a six-month period.

A separate NCAA probe from last year involving Louisiana-Lafayette — and former football assistant David Saunders — also involved Ole Miss. Saunders worked at Ole Miss in 2010 under Nutt. Freeze became the Ole Miss head coach in December 2011.

Documents from the Louisiana-Lafayette case stated that Ole Miss legal counsel and NCAA enforcement staff interviewed Saunders in 2013.

Saunders was given an eightyear show-cause in the Louisiana-Lafayette case after the NCAA ruled he made an effort to arrange fraudulent college entrance exam scores for recruits.

Louisiana-Lafayette did not receive a postseason ban in its case, but was put on probation for two years and lost 11 scholarships over three seasons.

Ole Miss has already released some self-reported football violations over the past year, including that a “representative of athletics interests” provided transportation for potential recruits on six different occasions from 2011 to ‘14.

There was also a self-report where an assistant coach — whose name was redacted from documents — made improper contact with a recruit at a high school.

Trump and Sanders big winners, riding voter frustration

(AP Photo/J. David Ake)

Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt, smiles as he speaks at his primary night rally Tuesday.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter frustration with American politics to commanding victories in Tuesday’s New Hampshire primaries, adding crucial credibility to their upstart candidacies.

Sanders swept majorities of men, women, independents

and young people in his win over Hillary Clinton, but faces challenges in the more diverse states that come next on the primary calendar. Trump, appealing to voters seeking a political outsider, he could benefit from the persistent lack of clarity among the more mainstream Republicans struggling to challenge him.

“We are going to do some-

thing so good and so fast and so strong and the world is going to respect us again, believe me,” Trump said at a victory rally.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich grabbed second in New Hampshire after pouring nearly all of his campaign resources into the state. Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio vied for third along with Ted Cruz,

the Iowa caucus winner, ensuring all would press on to the next voting contest in South Carolina.

Sanders, at his own raucous rally, said his victory sent a message “that will echo from Wall Street to Washington, from Maine to California. And that is that the government of our great country belongs to all of the people and not just a handful of wealthy campaign contributors and their super PACs.” The enthusiasm behind Trump, a real estate mogul who has never held political office, and Vermont Sen. Sanders, who says he is a democratic socialist, underscores the public’s anger with the current political and economic system. Even if neither candidate ultimately becomes his party’s nominee, whoever wins that nomination will have to reckon with the voter frustration they’ve tapped into.

Clinton appeared to recognize that reality in her concession speech, echoing Sanders’ calls for taking on Wall Street banks and tackling income inequality. But she cast herself as more prepared to make good on her pledges.

“People have every right to be angry. But they’re also hungry, they’re hungry for solutions,” she said after congratulating Sanders on his win.

New Hampshire did little to clarify the crowded contest among more mainstream GOP candidates fighting to emerge as a challenger to Trump and Texas Sen. Cruz. Florida Sen. Rubio, former Florida Gov.

Bush and Cruz battled for third behind Kasich.

Throughout the heated primary campaign, Kasich has prided himself on not attacking his rivals. A more moderate Republican from a politically important state, Kasich told supporters Tuesday night that his second-place finish could be an indication that “we’re turning the page on a dark part of American politics.”

The day was a blow for Rubio, who had appeared to be breaking away from the second-tier Republican pack after a stronger-than-expected showing in Iowa. But he stumbled in Saturday’s debate under intense pressure from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has relentlessly cast the young senator as too inexperienced and too reliant on memorized talking points to become president.

Rubio conceded that the debate may have hurt him in Tuesday’s contest and pledged to supporters that his poor performance “will never happen again.”

Christie, however, didn’t benefit from roughing up Rubio. He lagged behind the pack as votes were being tallied and said he planned to return home to New Jersey to “make a decision on our next step forward.”

Republican voters were more negative about their politicians than Democrats, with about half of GOP voters saying they felt betrayed by party officials. Trump carried a majority of those who said they

Junior education major Emily Vincente used TeachLivE in her Edci 352 class.

“I think it’s great that I was able to practice before being thrown into a classroom with real students,” Vincente said.

“The thought of being put into a classroom without having done TeachLivE first is very scary to me.”

TeachLivE is also in the progress of developing new features and avatars.

The committee will vote on the resolution in the near future.

“Senators are constantly researching and spitballing a variety of ideas,” Brahan said. “It’s very important that media coverage pertains strictly to fully formulated resolutions, so that information and intent is not misconstrued.”

Senator Allen Coon is one of the co-authors of the Vardaman Hall resolution. Coon approached The Daily Mississippian presenting the resolution proposal for Tuesday’s committee meeting.

“I would like to apologize for the miscommunication,” Coon said. “I look forward to working with my fellow senators to ensure that appropriate procedures are followed, and that the nature and intent of the proposed resolution is clear and concise to all involved.”

wanted an outsider to win, according to exit polls conducted by Edison Research for The Associated Press and television networks.

Nearly half of voters in the Republican primary made up their minds in the past week.

However, Trump’s support appeared more sustained, with his supporters saying they made up their minds some time ago.

In a sign of Trump’s impact on the race, two-thirds of GOP voters said they supported a temporary ban on non-citizen Muslims entering the U.S., a position the billionaire outlined last year amid rising fears of terrorism emanating from the Middle East.

Sanders pulled from a broad coalition of New Hampshire voters, gathering a majority of votes from men, independents and voters under 45, as well as a slim majority of women. Hillary Clinton won the majority of those over 65 and those with incomes over $200,000 a year, according

to the exit polls.

Clinton’s campaign argues she will perform better as the race heads to more racially diverse states, including Nevada and South Carolina. Both New Hampshire and Iowa are overwhelmingly white states that are far less diverse than the nation as a whole.

As polls closed, her campaign manager Robby Mook blasted out a memo touting Clinton’s strength with Hispanics and black voters and arguing that a Democrat cannot win the presidency without support from those constituencies.

The distinctions between what motived Sanders and Clinton voters were sharp. The Vermont senator was backed by 9 in 10 voters for whom honesty was important and 8 in 10 who wanted a candidate who “cares about people like me.” Clinton, meanwhile, won support from nearly 90 percent of those who considered the “right” experience important in their decision and about 80 percent of those regarding electability as the most important factor.

In the summer of 2013, an expanded Sensitivity and Respect Committee reviewed the University’s environment on race and race related issues. Both the University’s organizational structure related to diversity and issues concerning building names and symbols were evaluated by independent advisors, as stated in a letter in sent to the student body by former chancellor Dan Jones.

The report stated there needed to be an effort to provide contemporary context for some of the University’s existing symbols and names, which are too often viewed as an endorsement of ancient ideas.

Any and all symbols and buildings may benefit from this, but some to consider in the early stages include Vardaman Hall, the ballroom in Johnson Commons, and the Confederate statue, according to the report.

The report said including plaques would provide context and an beneficial educational opportunity for students and campus visitors who are interested in our history.

However, “spirited” is not the appropriate adjective for Eilis at this point in the film, who is having trouble adjusting to life in America. The severity of her homesickness prevents her from being able to work her new job.

She wonders if she’ll ever stop wanting “to be an Irish girl in Ireland” and confides in her only correspondent before arriving in America, Father Flood (Jim Broadbent), a priest at the church where Eilis meets the charming and handsome Tony Fiorello (Emory Cohen) at an Irish dance. As his name suggests, Tony is Italian, and admits that he went to the dance because he “really likes Irish girls.”

was born in the Bronx but raised in Ireland. The role of Eilis held a strong, sentimental value for the young actress, who was able to use her native accent for the first time on screen. The added layer of immigration hardships, on top of her innocent but transparent depiction of a girl transitioning into both a woman and an adult, earned Ronan her well-deserved second Oscar nomination.

In America, Eilis’s home is an all-girl Irish immigrant boarding house owned by the opinionated Mrs. Keogh, played by the ever-reliable Julie Walters (“Educating Rita,” “Billy Elliot”) who delivers a humorous, matronly performance that brings to mind her beloved role of Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter films.

From the female powerhouse team that brought you “An Education” in 2009, Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey’s most recent film “Brooklyn” tells the similar coming-of-age story of a young Irish girl named Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan). The age-old saying “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” seems to ring true for this producer duo, as “Brooklyn” received exactly the same Oscar nominations as their first film did.

Posey’s husband and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Nick Hornby (“An Education,” “Wild”) succeeded in handling the acclaimed content of the novel off which the film is based, despite having to deviate and

your heart about as quickly as Eilis captures his.

The cinematography navigates the two lovebirds through a colorful production design of 1950s New York that makes one wish for a time machine to visit this romanticized and almost dreamlike place. The innocence of their relationship lands somewhere just beyond a courtship, and as things progress, Tony is barely able to vocalize his desire to take the relationship to the next level: inviting Eilis to eat dinner with his family.

An amusing scene of the girls in the boarding house giving Eilis pasta-eating lessons ensues, and a prepped but nervous Eilis dines with Tony’s loud, Italian family, including his uncensored 8-yearold brother, Frankie, (James DiGiacomo) who becomes the scene-stealer.

With Tony in her life, Eilis finds her footing and begins to fully embrace life in Brooklyn, including enrolling in night classes and finding happiness at work.

Only the hardship that befalls her family could bring Eilis to return to Ireland, unaware of the trial she would find there.

A friendship blossoms between her and a local boy named Jim (Domhall Gleeson), whose familiarity causes Eilis to question her relationship with Tony and her happiness in Brooklyn. She finds herself in a love triangle that forces her to not only choose between two different men but also between two countries, which are now both special to Eilis.

“Brooklyn” provides a pleasant and satisfying movie experience, but lacks the level of conflict and superior category execution to walk away with any hardware from this year’s Oscars.

abbreviate. “Brooklyn” (2009), written by Colm Tóibín, won the Costa Novel Award and was named one of the “10 best historical novels” by “The Observer.” The book’s structure for its heroine Eilis was in part inspired by the introspective female protagonists of Jane Austen novels, according to Tolbin.

Set in the 1950s, the film maintains a controlled passion that seems appropriate to the time period but has a constant level of raw, authentic emotion in which audiences will be easily swept up. First love, homesickness and fear of the unknown are but a part of the emotional journey Eilis works through as she leaves behind her family and friends in Ireland and travels alone to a new life in the United States.

The trans-Atlantic move of her character was also etched into Ronan’s own life story, as she

no one will even notice when you sprout a gopher tail on the 16th that won’t go away until the next full moon. Way to go, Gem.

Pisces, the Fish:

February 19- March 20

You’ve got big plans for this month, Pisces, and so far everything has been going your way.

Your friends are all ready to listen to what you have to say, you’re handling your stress pretty well and you’ve even managed to be eating healthy despite the candy that surrounds you. Jupiter’s moon, Callisto, has noticed your synergy with the Universe and wants to kidnap you. I can tell you right now, Jupiter is a long way from here and you’re probably going to miss Valentine’s Day, and you won’t be able to survive in space so I’m going to recommend you disguise yourself as a dog or perhaps a small tree for the time being until Callisto isn’t so hot for you anymore.

Aries, the Ram: March 21- April 19

You’ve got travel written all over your future in the next few weeks, Aries. It may be a friend or relative come in from out of town for a few days, or you might be swept off your feet by a dazzling stranger, but one thing is for sure; you’re going to have to go to the airport at least twice this month! Yay! And that’s not all the good news– according to my crystal ball, you’ve got a big surprise in store for you sometime around the 25th. No word yet on what it is, but it’s going to be big.

Taurus, the Bull: April 20- May 20

Something’s not right about this month, Taurus. Lately no matter what you do, you just can’t seem to plan anything. You’re mixing up Tuesday and Thursday, your service keeps dropping right before your text goes through and you’ve spent more than one night this week scratching your head and wondering where all your friends are. Pluto has been messing with your ability to communicate, and there’s only one way to fix it: tin foil. Yes, I am sorry to say if you want to hang out with anyone you’re going to have to block that interference in your brain with a tinfoil hat. Otherwise have fun being alone for the rest of the month.

Gemini, the Twins: May 21- June 20

You’ve been strapped for cash, Gem, and for whatever reason the Cosmic Bank of Fortune has no pity for you. But don’t worry, Neptune is about to take a dive for you, and before the end of the month you’ll be swimming in treasures untold. Someone special will surprise you with an unexpected gift, a teacher or boss is going to recognize your hard work, your parents will finally give you grocery money, your kids you don’t even have yet will be accepted into the top preschool in your neighborhood and

For the past few days, you’ve been feeling a chill go down your spine as you walk around, almost as if someone’s watching you. This sensation in combination with the freezing temperatures of late have sent you into violent fits of the shivers that have warranted some less than desirable glares in public. But the stars have good news for you! Someone has noticed how cool you are, Cancer, and they’re just looking for the right way to tell you. Unfortunately the certain sign that’s been trying to catch your eye is extremely shy, and as much as they want to, they won’t make the first move. Break the ice next time you feel a little shiver by shouting at the top of your lungs “WHO WANTS TO LOVE ME?” It’s totally hot and you’ll get so many dates.

on their sleeve, all this emotion is putting knots in your neck and shoulders, and if you’re not careful, you’re going to end up with more kinks than a pair of furry handcuffs. Luckily, the stars have a built in relaxation day for you this month. You’ve got one hot, luxurious bath in store for you around the 24th, so avoid showering for a couple days and reap the benefits of a nice long soak in the tub.

Libra, the Scale:

September 23- October 22

Tone it down, Libra. You are way off balance. Everything that sounds good in your head is coming out sounding like something a serial killer would say, and lately your jokes have been met with more raised eyebrows than laughs.

You’ve got to get some chill, bro.

But it’s not entirely your fault; Uranus hasn’t been on your side lately.

Uranus, which has been in Aries since 2010, is kinda grumpy. You need to work as a team, you and Uranus, and the best way to do that is by dancing. So dance with Uranus.

Virgo, the Virgin:

August 23- September 22

Lately you’ve been all about passion, Virgo. Whether you’re on the brink of a new romance or falling in love all over again with an old flame, the heat is on. But even for someone who wears their heart

so that you might strike anywhere you please. (Just be careful where you point that thing.) You’re irresistible right now, so if you’ve been trying to work up the nerve to ask someone out or have been racking your brain trying to think of ways to spice up your relationship, just sit back and relax. If you were wondering when you should drop your mixtape, the time is now. You’re so hot right now that someone could boil water in your mouth. This is also a good month for you to take up a career as a private detective and maybe have a torrid romance with some noir-aesthetic personality.

Capricorn, the Goat:

December 22- January 19

There is a whole lot of pasta in your future, Capricorn. An ocean of pasta. At first you’ll try to avoid it, but the pasta will find you, and there is nothing you can do about it. I am still trying to decipher the star charts and find a reason as to why for the next few weeks pasta will consume you (Or rather, you’ll consume pasta) but I can’t.

My advice is to get creative with it. If you’re trying to stay away from carbs, you’re in luck because I foresee macaroni necklaces becoming a major trend for spring fashion. There could be a bit of money in your future, just don’t let the opportunity pasta you by.

Aquarius, the Water bearer: January 20- February 18

Your temper’s been a little short lately, to say the least. It’s not like you to lose your cool, Aquarius, and it’s starting to mess with the vibe of everyone around you. That’s because Mars has been pushing your buttons from 48,678,219 miles away. You’ve got to chill. Take a trip over the weekend, go on a break from it sandals if you can, my sources tell all and sit on top of some raised me someone is hell-bent on tying (but stable) surface and have a little chat with the universe. Maybe your shoelaces together. take Mars out on a little date, wine Sagittarius, the Archer: and dine the Red Planet, talk pretty to it and all that.

2016 recruiting class adds depth to tight end roster COLLIN BRISTER

thedmsports@gmail.com

The Rebels return senior tight ends Evan Engram and Jeremy Liggns for the 2016 season, along with redshirt freshman Willie Hibbler. The Rebels, however, decided to load up at the tight end position in the 2016 signing class.

The Rebels signed three fourstar tight ends according to Scout.com in Jacob Mathis, Gabe Angel, and Octavious Cooley.

Octavious Cooley-Cooley, who committed to the Rebels in January of 2015, was one of the more overlooked prospects that the Rebels inked last Wednesday. Cooley, who hails from Laurel, was rated as the number two prospect in the state of Mississippi.

Cooley comes in at six-foottwo inches and 240 pounds and gives the Rebels a physical target at the tight end position Cooley possesses good speed for a tight end and will cause matchup issues for outside linebackers and safeties.

Cooley had reported offers from Mississippi State, Georgia and Tennessee. Cooley will compete immediately for playing time for the Rebels.

Jacob Mathis-Mathis, from Tampa, Florida, came to Oxford on the last recruiting weekend and decided to sign with the Rebels over offers from Florida, Georgia, and Michigan. Mathis comes in at six-foot-five inches, and provides the Rebels and Chad

Kelly another tall target, especially in the red zone. Mathis has very good athleticism and will be able to put pressure on opposing defensive backs.

Mathis will have a shot at early playing time because of his athleticism.

Gabe Angel-Angel has the biggest benefit of the three tight-ends being an early-enrollee. Angel, from Cookeville, Tennessee, committed to the

Rebels in November of 2014 and remained firm with his commitment throughout the process. Angel had reported offers from LSU, Mississippi State, and Tennessee among others. Angel has the athleticism to play tight end or even switch sides to defense if need be. Angel has good athleticism and will have the opportunity to learn from Evan Engram this spring.

The Rebels have been blessed with athletic tight ends throughout Hugh Freeze’s tenure with Jamal Mosley and Evan Engram. The Rebels use of the tight ends in the passing game puts pressure on opposing defensive coordinators from a schematic stand point. The Rebels often find that their tight ends are being covered by linebackers or safeties, two positions

that don’t match up with big, strong tight ends from either a speed stand point or a physical stand point. Hugh Freeze said on signing day that the staff decided to load up at tight end this year because of the depth in the 2016 class at the positions, and the Rebels definitely signed three solid ones.

continued from page 12 earth am I not supposed to be nervous?’” Buchanan recalled.

The moment was finally here.

This is what he’d been waiting for.

All of the reps in practice, the 5:30 a.m. alarms, and eight workouts per week in the offseason had paid dividends. He was going in.

He wasn’t the only nervous one in the stadium. His parents, along with his brother and sister in attendance, noticed he was warming up and stretching on the sideline and thought something might be up, and as number nine trotted onto the field, they too realized the moment was here.

“My heart started beating. Here it is. This is your son. You’ve always kind of dreamed of this moment,” Brooks said. “To see it actually happen, it can be pretty emotional, really.”

Two plays in, Buchanan hit Quincy Adeboyejo on a 15-yard dig route over the middle for his first completion.

“Once I played the first play, I was fine. I don’t know how big the crowd is or anything. I just lock in.

That was the most fun I’ve ever had,” Ryan said.

Soon after, the young quarterback got a taste of just how difficult playing on the road in the SEC can be. In the penultimate game of the regular season at Arkansas, with Ole Miss’ SEC West dreams in the balance, Wallace went down with an ankle injury. On a rainy afternoon in Fayetteville, down 17-0, Buchanan was back in the game for his first meaningful snaps in an Ole Miss jersey.

“It was raining and like 40 degrees, and I had never played in

that bad of conditions before,” Buchanan said. “It was tough. I didn’t want to force anything. My mindset was just to take what I can get.”

He held on strong, and Wallace would eventually return in a game that the Rebels would lose, but it was valuable experience nonetheless.

You won’t find a college athlete under more pressure than a quarterback in the SEC, especially one in the middle of a competition.

That’s exactly where Buchanan found himself heading into his third year in Oxford, in a threeway race with DeVante Kincade and junior college transfer Chad Kelly.

“I put a lot of pressure on myself. You know you worked your whole life for this,” Buchanan said. “Every little thing was looked at and examined.”

A week after Ole Miss’ Chickfil-A Bowl appearance, he was training with Bo Wallace in Los Angeles, doing anything he could to get an edge.

“I knew I had to win it fair and square,” Buchanan said. “I did everything I could to compete. I worked on my arm, my mechanics, everything.”

It was a tight race, and Buchanan held a slight edge coming out of spring practice and heading into fall camp. As fall camp progressed the race got tighter, and Kelly would eventually edge him out for the starting job.

“It was tough not to be pissed, but at the same time I was just one play away,” Buchanan said.

“Chad’s a great player and absolutely deserved it.”

It’s often hard to be positive in the face of adversity, but he knew at the end of the day, the success of the team was what mattered

most.

“The whole year I had Chad’s back. Every time he’d come to the sideline and I’d encourage him, and tell him what I saw,” Buchanan said.

Ole Miss would go on to have its most successful season in more than 50 years, finishing in New Orleans with a Sugar Bowl win.

Despite the thrill of a ride that was the 2015 season, Buchanan’s mind began to move past football.

With Kelly coming back for his senior season, he knew playing would be tough.

He talked it over, with friends and family, and eventually decided to move on from football.

He could have gone elsewhere.

There was an opportunity to play football elsewhere. He decided against it.

“It just wasn’t worth it. I’ve met so many people here that will be my friends for life. I’d be leaving it

all for what? A small shot? Maybe playing another year?” Buchanan said. “I have a future outside football, and I’ve got so many people here. I didn’t want to leave it all behind.”

“He didn’t choose Ole Miss just because of the opportunity to play football. He chose it because he wanted to be there,” Brooks said.

“He chose Ole Miss because that’s always where he wanted to go. He grew up loving it.”

Though Buchanan is not positive what that future is, he’s determined to find it. He’s a finance major and has always kept his GPA over a 3.0. He’d like to land a solid internship somewhere and see what the business world has to offer.

“I realized that this is my future.

The NFL isn’t my future,” Buchanan said. “This is my time to time to do these internships, and apply myself and figure out what

my future is.”

Though it may not have turned out exactly how he would have liked, Buchanan is proud of what he accomplished and has no regrets. He was apart of the most historic recruiting class in Ole Miss history. He got to play for the school and state he’d so feverishly had hoped to represent, and he ended his career in a place the Ole Miss football program hadn’t been in over 50 years-- in New Orleans at the Sugar Bowl.

“I knew I gave it all I got. I don’t regret anything,” Buchanan said.

“I gave it all I got at the school I loved to play at.”

Though he has not discovered his next endeavor yet, Buchanan will find it, and accomplish it. Just as he has done with everything else in his life.

“God makes everything happen for a reason, and I’m just looking for my next chapter in life.”

Ryan Buchanan: A Rebel’s dream

BRIAN RIPPEE

BSrippee@go.olemiss.edu

On September 7 2013, freshman quarterback Ryan Buchanan stepped off of the Ole Miss team bus on a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oxford and proceeded down the Walk of Champions into a sea of red and blue.

It was a sight he’d seen many times as a young kid, but now he was on the other side of it as a player.

Buchanan and the rest of the team then made their way to the stadium and into the locker room.

It was there where he would see a red number nine uniform sitting in his locker with his name embroidered in white across the back. It was the culmination of a dream turned into reality for the then-freshman from Jackson.

“I had never seen my name on the back of a jersey before, and to see that it was with Ole Miss, I was pumped,” he said with a smile.

“The first thing I did was pull out my phone and take a picture of it.”

That moment, as real and fulfilling as it was, was a culmination of hard work that started long before the grueling two-a-days at Ole Miss.

As a freshman at Jackson Preparatory school, Buchanan made

the decision to turn his full focus on becoming a college quarterback.

“Ninth grade year was really when I wanted to try to go get a scholarship,” he said. “After my tenth (grade) year we started going to different combines and different colleges.”

With the help of his father, Brooks Buchanan, among many others, the pocket passer began to try and get his name out to universities across the country.

“We didn’t know what to think or expect,” Brooks Buchanan said.

“We had heard that if they like you they’ll pull you to the side, and they did.”

After attending camps at Mississippi State and Alabama, Buchanan began talking with coaches. Those talks turned into letters expressing interest, and growing more personal each time. Those letters turned into visits, and soon after, those visits turned into offers.

After taking other SEC unofficial visits, Buchanan took one to Ole Miss. At its conclusion, he committed to Freeze and the Rebels. He knew Ole Miss was where he wanted to spend his college years.

“I didn’t want to play for another school being from Mississip-

pi,” Buchanan said. “I wanted to Buchanan represent Mississippi so badly. I redshirtbelieved we would turn it around. ed in This was my dream. I wanted to 2013, sitplay for these coaches.”

From then on, his recruitment was closed. Buchanan faxed in his letter of intent the following February to join the most historic recruiting class in the history of the program.

He was finally a Rebel.

“It was a big gamble to turn down all of those other places,” Buchanan said. “But it was what I wanted to do. I had one dream.

I wanted to be the quarterback here, I didn’t care if it was just for a year or what. I wanted to come ting behere.” h i n d threeA few months later, he was at year starter Ole Miss, suiting up in the locker Bo Wallace. room and about to take the field He was on the surrounded by 60,000 people sidelines in Nashpacked into the same seats he had ville against Vansat in growing up. derbilt when Bo “I tried to instill in him to use this Wallace approached as motivation.
