Four Rebels selected in 2017 NFL draft Pulitzer winner to speak at

Taken 198th overall by the San Francisco 49ers, Jones’ mediocre senior season kept him out of the earlier rounds. But raw athleticism (25 bench press reps) and an unteachable work ethic should help the former Rebel challenge for minutes as a rookie.

As the school year comes to an end, students and faculty are preparing for this year’s commencement ceremony in the Grove.

Next Saturday, at the university’s 164th commencement ceremony, renowned author, presidential historian and journalist Jon Meacham will address the newest Ole Miss graduates.

Meacham has led a fulfilling career as a Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author, a former editor-in-chief of Newsweek and a contributor to Time magazine. He has written extensively on topics from politics to history and religion.

He was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and later graduated summa cum laude from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Meacham joined the staff of Newsweek magazine in 1995 and within three years was named the publication’s managing editor.

In 2006, he became Newsweek’s editor-in-chief.

Since stepping down from his editorial position at Newsweek in 2010, Meacham has appeared frequently on MSNBC’s weekday news show “Morning Joe.” He contributes columns and commentary to publications including The Washington Post and The New York Times Book Review.

he final round of the 2017 NFL draft drew to a close late Saturday night. A total of four Rebels were selected throughout the seven rounds, while another five signed undrafted free-agent contracts just hours after the draft ended.

Ole Miss’ lone first-round draft pick this year, Evan

Engram, had his name called sooner than many expected. The New York Giants selected the Rebel tight end with the 23rd overall pick. Engram was projected to go early in the second round, but a strong combine boosted his draft stock.

Engram will join fellow Rebel alum and current Giants quarterback Eli Manning on the field next season. This combination could pay dividends early, as Engram’s athleticism

should compliment Manning’s passing style. And while Engram may have to compete with the likes of Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard for receptions and minutes, Engram’s size and speed will keep him in contention for both.

After Engram’s selection, Ole Miss fans were forced to wait until the sixth round to hear another Rebel’s name.

This time, it was 6-foot-1, 319-pound nose tackle D.J. Jones.

Farewell column: Editor-in-chief Clara Turnage

CLARA TURNAGE

claraturnage1@gmail.com

Farewell column season is my least favorite time of the year. For the past three years, goodbye columns have marked the time when I have to deal with my friends’ graduations.

I have to confront the fact that they’re leaving and I might never see them again.

That’s a little overdramatic.

Then again, I’m a little overdramatic.

Anyway, now it’s my turn.

Now I’m leaving. Providing we have a new staff (we do) and I can pass my classes (I might), these are my last few days as editor-in-chief of The Daily Mississippian.

I didn’t come to Ole Miss because I grew up as a lifelong Rebel. I didn’t bleed red and blue or even follow our sports teams. In fact, the first time I came to campus – besides orientation, which was mandated – was to move into my freshman dorm.

We moved in early – nearly a week before school started – and in those few days, I decided I would work up the courage to go apply for The Daily Mississippian. When I spoke to my mother about it, I told her I wanted to be the editor-in-chief by the time my senior year rolled around, which was a million miles away. To her credit, she told me she thought it was a great idea. She later confessed she didn’t think I had a shot.

Not because she didn’t believe in me – she did. I was just not an outspoken person then.

I grew up a reader and a writer – not a speaker, not a leader.

Certainly not an aggressive, inyour-face reporter. I’m still not, if we’re being honest.

But in the last three years,

I’ve overcome a lot of the anxiety I had concerning interviews and asking tough questions, probably because it was necessary.

We had to cover difficult, interesting topics – things I didn’t understand before I came to college. I hadn’t formed opinions about subjects like the Confederate emblem in the Mississippi state flag or the various ties Ole Miss has to its past when I became a reporter for The DM. So, when I came face to face with our university’s myriad of problems, controversies and complexities, I came with fresh eyes. Some might say I came without the ties that would endear me to Ole Miss’ traditions – and they may be right – but I also came without preconceived notions of what this institution is and to whom

it belongs.

And often, when these troubles became too much for me or I didn’t know how to proceed, I spoke to Patricia Thompson, assistant dean of the Student Media Center. I’m going to miss having important conversations – and unimportant conversations – with Ms. Pat. We call her School Mom, and that’s an alarmingly accurate moniker. She is whom I come to for advice, to vent, to inquire.

She always had time to edit my rough – often very rough – drafts and, what meant more, she always had time to listen.

She’s been a positive influence on me as a journalist and as a person. I will miss her so much.

I don’t think enough people realize that The DM is inextricably bound to the university, to its people and to its issues.

sponsibility and great privilege of serving our campus is theirs now, and I leave you in good hands.

As much as I learned in my first three years with The DM, I think this last year has been the most influential. I can’t imagine freshman me confronting the issues that have arisen in the past 12 months. Mom was right about freshman year Clara.

The point is: I didn’t come here ready to be editor-in-chief – no one does. I didn’t come to Ole Miss ready to go out into the world as a journalist – no one does.

The Daily Mississippian made me a better journalist, a better leader; I’m prepared to tell you it made me a better person.

And I can’t tell you how grateful I am.

We have a rich and diverse – if often silent – audience. And I wish that weren’t the case. If we had half as many people who disagree with our columns and coverage write letters to the editor or become columnists, we’d never run out of content – and the opinion section would become a better representation of our campus.

And – despite what you might hear – that’s what we want. Your voice is important; your opinion matters. But you have to speak to be heard.

It’s been stressful covering this campus – its eccentricities and obsessions, its deep roots and budding communities. But it’s been a great honor to chronicle our university’s history as it happened in my years here.

Associate professor of journalism Curtis Wilkie said he is looking forward to Meacham’s address.

“They’re supposed to be inspirational, and Jon is an excellent speaker who’s done some terrific books,” Wilkie said. “He also has a great sense of humor, so I think it will be the kind of speech that will keep every-

Meacham’s presidential biography, “American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House,” earned him the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography. He has authored biographies on American presidents George H.W. Bush and Thomas Jefferson as well. In these biographies, Meacham uses personal notes and journals from the presidents to show their approachable and reflective sides.

Noel Wilkin, interim provost and executive vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the commencement ceremony in the Grove requires extensive planning and work by many people on campus.

“Jon Meacham is often called upon to provide commentary and perspective on world events,” Wilkin said.

“I am proud that our university has the reputation necessary to attract nationally recognized speakers. Ultimately, this reputation is the result of the hard work of our faculty and staff.”

The university’s senior leadership team makes recommendations and discusses various possibilities for candidates each year.

However, the chancellor is ultimately responsible for choosing the commence-

ment speaker.

The Provost Office is the coordinating office, Wilkin said, and, along with many other offices and departments on campus, it works to ensure commencement is a special and memorable

James Beard nominees partner for fundraising dinner OLIVIA MORGAN

olmorgan@go.olemiss.edu

James Beard Award-nominated chef Sydney Meers and Oxford’s own James Beard nominee restaurant Saint Leo will pair up for a fundraising dinner tomorrow night supporting the Sarah Isom Center’s LGBTQ+ Arts and Culture fund, in association with OutOxford.

Theresa Starkey, the associate director of the Isom Center, said plans for Pride Weekend began almost as soon as last year’s festivities ended.

“The parade was an amazing experience for many people, both on and off campus. After Pride, people began to reach out to the Isom Center to support the next one,” she said.

One such person was John T. Edge, who tomorrow night’s visiting chef, Sydney Meers, credits as a “superhero in my world for trying to save real Southern culture before it goes.” Edge, the author and director of the Southern Foodways Alliance, led last year’s Pride Parade alongside grand marshall Spencer Pleasants in his red Fiat convertible. After the parade he was soon brainstorming with Starkey on how to collaborate and support Mississippi’s LGBTQ community.

An article featured in food magazine Lucky Peach called “America, Your Food Is So Gay: The story of how three gay men—James Beard, Richard Olney, and Craig Claiborne— became architects of America’s modern food culture” sparked the idea for tomorrow night’s event. “‘Mississippi, Your Food is Queer’ evolved from our conversation about the article and our belief in the need to make visible the invisible queer hosts of hospitality,” Starkey said.

Pride Week provides a platform for the group to do just that with James Beard-nomi-

nated chef and Mississippi native, Meers.

The chef, who grew up in his grandmother’s Senatobia restaurant, said, “Sometimes my mother would wait tables, and she would sit me at the counter, and I would always sneak into the kitchen and watch grandma.”

“I’m pretty much selftaught,” he said. “In my late 30s, I went to culinary school to see what I was missing, and it turned out my grandmother had pretty much covered everything.”

After graduating high school, Meers moved to Alabama to

join his sister and brother-inlaw, who had opened a restaurant in Birmingham. He said this experience was what ultimately cemented him in his career as a chef.

“She did everything from scratch, grew everything she needed. Pappy had a big farm down the street from the restaurant. They were purely self-sustainable” he said.

He even mentioned that if his grandmother ever had a dish calling for chicken, she would grab one out of the yard (or, if need be, go down the street and find one from the neighbors), promptly snap its neck, pluck and prepare it.

“Everyone is doing farm to table now, and that’s just what I grew up with,” he said.

Meers now owns and operates Stove restaurant in Portsmouth, Virginia, and sells his own line of specialty sauces.

He said he is ready to return to his home state and pair up with Saint Leo owner Emily Blount. The dinner will be served family-style and begin with plates of charcuterie and cheese, served with toasted homemade bread and meat items like Blount’s pork belly, Meers’ country ham and his grandmother’s hamburger relish.

Blount will serve up some of

Saint Leo’s staple wood-fired pizzas topped with seasonal fruits and veggies like asparagus and strawberries. Meers will top off the course with some jumbo rock fish striper bass, native to his area in Virginia.

“You can get gulf and East Coast fish easily, but mine will be plucked out of the water and put in big-ass coolers and cut up and grilled fresh with Georgeanne Ross’ grits,” Meers said.

He said he is excited to be cooking in Ross’ hometown of Oxford, where she began the businesses Delta Grind Grits and the Original Grit Girl.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m., and tickets are $65 dollars for four courses. Along with tomorrow night’s dinner, Pride Week will be celebrated with Code Pink at Proud Larry’s, Big Freedia at The Lyric and the second annual Pride Parade on Saturday in a partnership between the Isom Center and OutOxford.

Meers said he is looking forward to his homecoming and seeing the progress Mississippi has made. He explained,“This being the second gay pride event shows that Mississippi has centered a little more and has grown up into the modern world.”

Splitting the first two games of the series, No. 20 Ole Miss softball walked off for the eighth time this season beating No. 13 Alabama in game two of a Saturday afternoon doubleheader.

The Rebels struggled to get runs on the board throughout game one, as Alabama starter Alexis Osorio struck out nine batters and gave up just one hit: a bunted single by Elantra Cox. The Rebels, who left seven on base in the game, simply could not produce runs.

Senior Courtney Syrett began a key third inning with a leadoff walk before Cox got on base with a bunted single. Kylan Becker reached first on a fielder’s choice play to load the bases, but a pair of strikeouts and a pop-up to the infield quickly put an end to the Rebels’ scoring hopes, stranding all three runners.

Alabama found a spark in the sixth inning after two singles and a sacrifice bunt put runners in scoring positions. From there, two consecutive bloop singles knocked in the Crimson Tide’s two runs and gave Alabama’s Osorio another tally in the win column, improving the team’s record to 19-6 on the year.

After dropping game one by a score of 2-0, the Rebels called on some late-game magic to capture a series-tying 2-1 win over the Crimson Tide.

After leading 1-0 for the majority of Saturday’s second game, Alabama tried to add an insurance run in the seventh inning. A trio leadoff single, sacrifice bunt and walk put two runners on base, but dominant Rebel pitcher Brittany Finney worked out of the jam.

With the Rebels’ hopes down to the final two outs, senior Dakota Matiko stepped into the box and delivered a clutch

The only run Rolison conceded was a home run on a 3-2 fastball to Grant Koch, hit deep over the left field wall. Arkansas now leads the SEC with 57 home runs.

The Rebel offense impressed yet again as it put together a four-run first inning, enough to ensure Ole Miss’ eventual victory. Blackman contribut-

ed two hits, and Nick Fortes knocked in two of the four RBIs. Junior Will Golsan and Bortles each added a run and a hit to the Ole Miss tally.

Ethridge was called on to relieve Rolison in the seventh, and Dallas Woolfolk closed the game out with 1.2 innings of work, securing the series win over the Razorbacks. Woolfolk, who earned the five-out

save, was recently named to the Stopper of the Year Award watch list. The award is given to college baseball’s top relief pitcher.

Game three kicked off immediately after the conclusion of game two. Bianco’s team continued its impressive offensive form, putting four runs up on Arkansas, but the Rebel defense faltered this time around.

The Razorbacks took advantage of a number of errors and pitching miscues to amass a total of seven runs, three of which came from Arkansas catcher Grant Koch’s bat. Redshirted sophomore Brady Feigl pitched 2.1 scoreless innings in relief as the Rebels tried, unsuccessfully, to mount a comeback.

A bright spot in an otherwise disappointing match for the Rebels, switch hitter Thomas Dillard hit his fourth home run of the year in the second inning. The game finished with Arkansas on top by a score of 7-4.

The Rebels now look forward to the busy five-game week ahead.

Ole Miss will face Louisiana-Monroe on Tuesday and Wednesday before heading to Gainesville, Florida, for a three-game weekend shootout with the Gators.

NFL DRAFT

continued from page 1 linebacker Reuben Foster in San Francisco’s attempt to improve their worst-in-theleague defense next season.

Derrick Jones’ (no relation to D.J.) selection followed D.J. Jones’ selection by just six picks. Taken 204th overall by the New York Jets, the 6-foot-2 cornerback boasts a 41-inch vertical jump and a long, thin frame. Analysts criticized a lack of strength (Jones put up nine reps on the bench press at Ole Miss pro day) but praised his ball skills. Jones likely won’t start immediately but could add some much-needed depth to the Jets’ secondary.

Rounding out the draft at pick No. 273, Chad Kelly was taken last overall by the Denver Broncos. One of the most prolific Ole Miss quarterbacks of all time, Kelly saw his draft stock slide due to a late-season injury and nagging off-field character concerns.

Despite the drop, Kelly not only found a new team but could be in contention

Contrary to the title giv-

en to each year’s final overall pick, Kelly could be the most relevant “Mr. Irrelevant” in recent history.

A number of unselected Rebels signed pro deals shortly after the final round.

These signees included wide receiver Damore’ea Stringfellow (Miami Dolphins),

defensive end Fadol Brown (Oakland Raiders), defensive back Tony Bridges (Seattle Seahawks) and wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo and defensive back Carlos Davis (both Baltimore Ravens).

Stringfellow stood a decent chance at being se-

lected, but teams cited his previous legal trouble as grounds for concern. Brown and Adeboyejo entered the 2017 draft with high hopes, but unspectacular senior seasons minimized their chances of being selected.
