Coskey-Merritt rushed 189 times for 1,190 yards and 17 touchdowns last season for the Aggies, adding seven catches for 72 yards and another score. He initially joined Arizona through the transfer portal in February. But two months later, he decided to turn to the rebels on Instagram.
“The greater the challenge, the greater the reward,” he wrote at the time of the appointment. “Let’s do it.”
Coskey-Merritt rushed for 1,164 yards in his three seasons at Alabama State. He was listed as a three-star recruit in the transfer portal and the No. 30 overall running back according to 247Sports transfer rankings. Croskey-Merritt was an unranked prospect out of Sidney Lanier High School in Montgomery, Alabama.
Ole Miss’ running back room took a blow this offseason when they lost Quinshon Judkins to Ohio State in the transfer portal earlier this offseason. Running back Ulysses Bentley IV did not participate in the spring game due to injury. LSU transfer Logan Diggs and Miami transfer Henry Parrish Jr. could have more prominent roles with the Rebels and Lane Kiffin’s rushing attack.
