The 2019 Ceremony will be the 30th Anniversary of the Award
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss Athletics will host a lunch and ceremony for the 30th annual Chucky Mullins Courage Award, presented by the M-Club, on Saturday, April 6, at the Manning Center's Grill at 1810.
Lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m. CT, followed by the ceremony that includes featured former winner Johnny Dixon. The annual Grove Bowl will be held at 3 p.m. that day at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, marking the culmination of Ole Miss spring football practice. Admission is free to the game.
A limited number of tickets are available for fans to attend the Chucky Mullins Courage Award lunch.
Dixon, the 1993 winner of the award, was a four-year letterwinner and two-time first team All-SEC safety for the Rebels from 1990-93 before enjoying a five-year professional football career.
He finished his Rebel career with 277 career tackles, four fumble recoveries and six interceptions. Following his senior season, his six interceptions ranked 25th in Ole Miss history. Dixon, who also served as a senior captain for the Rebels, played in the 1994 Senior Bowl and was credited with eight tackles and one caused fumble.
The ceremony will include the unveiling of this year's recipient of the Chucky Mullins Courage Award, which goes to an upperclassman defensive player at Ole Miss who will have the honor of wearing Mullins' No. 38 on the field during the 2019 football season.
Established in the spring of 1990 by the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity at Ole Miss, the Chucky Mullins Courage Award honors the late Mullins, who had his Rebel football career come to an end during the 1989 Homecoming game against Vanderbilt when he was paralyzed after making a tackle. After returning to his studies at Ole Miss, Mullins passed away on May 6, 1991.
