OXFORD, Miss. โ On Wednesday, Ole Miss soccer Head Coach Matt Mott announced the addition Rebel defender and midfielder Georgia Russell to his staff as the program's Coordinator of Operations.
"I am thrilled to be adding Georgia to our staff," said Mott. "She was a great student-athlete at Ole Miss and she knows our program as well as anyone. Also, her time as an accountant and time she spent with the Ole Miss Athletic Foundation will help prepare her for her new role as our Coordinator of Operations. It is always great to bring a former Rebel back to the program!"
