Ole Miss Rebels Star RB Logan Diggs Has Done it Again, Major Announcement Leaves Fans and Coach Lane Kiffin Reacts in Shock.
In what is quickly becoming a highlight reel season for Logan Diggs, the Ole Miss Rebels’ star running back turned in yet another jaw-dropping performance Saturday night, electrifying the crowd at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and leaving fans — and even Head Coach Lane Kiffin — in stunned amazement.
Diggs, a junior transfer who’s rapidly become the heart and soul of the Rebels’ offense, delivered a game-defining performance with over 210 rushing yards, three touchdowns, and a 60-yard breakaway run that left defenders flailing in his wake. His blend of power, vision, and explosive speed is drawing comparisons to some of the greatest to ever wear the red and blue.
**”He’s unreal,”** Coach Lane Kiffin said in a post-game press conference, visibly shaking his head in disbelief. **”You think you’ve seen everything he can do, then he goes and breaks five tackles and outruns a safety who had an angle on him. He’s playing at an NFL level right now, and we’re just lucky he’s doing it in Oxford.”**
The play Kiffin referred to came midway through the third quarter, with the Rebels holding a narrow lead against a tough SEC West rival. Facing a 2nd-and-7 from their own 40-yard line, Diggs took a handoff from quarterback Jaxson Dart and initially looked bottled up. But with a quick spin and a stiff-arm that sent a linebacker flying, he broke free to the outside. From there, it was a track meet — and Diggs doesn’t lose those.
The stadium erupted as he crossed the goal line, and social media exploded within seconds. “Logan Diggs for Heisman” began trending nationally, with fans and analysts alike hailing the performance as one of the best of the college football season.
**”That was some Reggie Bush-type stuff,”** said former Rebel and current SEC Network analyst Jordan Wilkins. **”Logan has that rare ability to make everyone on the field look like they’re moving in slow motion.”**
The buzz isn’t limited to fans and analysts. NFL scouts in attendance were seen scribbling furiously into notebooks and making late-night calls, as Diggs continues to climb up draft boards. With each passing week, his stock rises not just as a Heisman Trophy candidate, but as a top-tier NFL prospect.
But perhaps the most telling reaction came from the Ole Miss locker room itself.
**”We’re witnessing greatness every day in practice and in games,”** said senior offensive lineman Jeremy James. **”We know if we give Logan just a crease, he’s going to turn it into something special. He makes all of us look good.”**
This season has been a resurgence for the Rebels, who now find themselves firmly in the SEC Championship race. Diggs has been central to that success. Through six games, he has already amassed over 1,100 total yards and 14 touchdowns — eye-popping numbers that are drawing national attention.
Coach Kiffin, ever the strategist, knows just how valuable his star running back is, and he isn’t shy about building the game plan around him.
**”There are guys you call plays for,” Kiffin said. “Then there are guys like Logan, who make the play no matter what you call.”**
For the fans in Oxford, each Saturday has become a must-see event, with Diggs turning the field into a stage and every snap into a potential masterpiece. Jerseys bearing his name are selling out at campus bookstores, and students chant his name even after the final whistle.
And as for Diggs? The humble superstar deflected praise post-game, as always.
**”I just do what I can to help the team win,”** he said, with a quiet smile. **”The line blocked great, the receivers cleared the way, and the coaches put me in position to succeed. I’m just grateful to be here.”**
If Logan Diggs keeps doing what he’s doing, the Rebels may find themselves somewhere they haven’t been in decades — in the thick of the College Football Playoff conversation.
For now, though, all of Ole Miss is riding high on the momentum of their star back — and waiting eagerly to see what he does next.
**Because when Logan Diggs is on the field, anything can happen.**
