The following information
was revealed during our interview with LaDerrick Vaughn:
How did
your season go? "It was OK. We got put out the Friday before last. I had
a bad game, so I am pretty disappointed."
Talk about the season as a whole. "Well, I think we had a good season.
I think it is the best season I have personally ever had, but we did not get the
job done in the end, so that really is meaningless to me. But, I had never had
over a 1, 000 yards rushing in a season. I did that this year. I had 1, 485 yards
rushing and 15 TD's and 600 and something yards passing. I probably had around
40 something solo tackles and another 50 something assists. I was the only QB
in the City of Memphis to rush for over a 1, 000 yards this year."
What
part of your game improved the most? "My footwork. I got better running the
ball this year."
Have you set up your visits? "I will probably
end up going to Ole Miss on the first weekend in December. They just told me it
would probably be the first weekend."
Will you take anymore visits?
"I think Ole Miss will probably the only visit I am going to take."
You
told us that you were still keeping your options open in the past; have those
options been closed? "Yes sir, most definitely. I really like how they are
playing defense. They are real aggressive. I like the game day atmosphere and
the campus is easy to get around. I am sold on Ole Miss now. They have everything
I want."
How many Ole Miss games have you attended this year? "Three.
I have gone to the Alabama, Arkansas, and LSU games."
You stated you
liked the game day atmosphere; what stood out? "Just how much support their
fans give them. The Grove is an experience too. I love all of the food, fans,
and watching the team walk through. I just envision myself coming through the
crowd, and it gets me all fired up. I look forward to helping them turn things
around."
