Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy smashed the Rebels’ single-season rushing touchdown record Saturday night, scoring for the 17th time in 2025 on a 3-yard run against the Florida Gators.
Lacy tied the record last week against The Citadel, as the sophomore motored for 3 TDs to pace the 7th-ranked Rebels to a 49-0 victory.
Lacy broke the Ole Miss record held by Quinshon Judkins – who rushed for 16 touchdowns as a freshman at Ole Miss in 2022. Judkins stayed in Oxford in 2023 before transferring to play at Ohio State in 2024 and then turning pro to be drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2025.
Lacy entered Saturday night with 912 rushing yards on 200 carries. He also had caught 22 passes for 134 yards through 10 games this season. Lacy’s rushing touchdowns already led the SEC, and his rushing totals ranked 3rd in the SEC entering Week 12 play behind Mizzou‘s Ahmad Hardy (1,046 yards) and Arkansas’s Mike Washington (913 yards).
Ole Miss averaged 183.9 rushing yards per game heading into Saturday’s test against Florida – which ranked 6th in the SEC and 38th nationally. The Rebels’ 28 team rushing touchdowns was tied with Vanderbilt for the conference’s best entering Week 12.
