Kewan Lacy said Ole Miss enters 2026 focused on finishing a national-title run after last season "came up short" despite one of the best years in program history.
The All-American running back will wear the Q-Collar this season, describing it as added protection against repetitive head impacts and a way to stay sharp and maximize time on the field.
The neck-worn device is billed as the first and only FDA-cleared sports equipment proven to help protect the brain by applying light pressure that limits brain movement during football-related head motion.
Lacy said Ole Miss stayed competitive through the disruption of Lane Kiffin's departure to LSU before the playoff, when players were unsure which assistants would remain on the sideline.
With quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and other key returners back under a new staff, Lacy said the Rebels believe they can "go even farther" in 2026.
