Remembering Tim Jumper
12/13/2024 | Men's Basketball
One of the best players to ever wear an Ole Miss basketball jersey and a giant around the program, former great Tim Jumper passed away recently on December 8. Head coach Chris Beard recently spoke on his impact he had, not just during his time as a student-athlete but throughout his lifetime, on the men's basketball team in Oxford.
A four-year starter, Jumper finished his career with 1,375 points and was the first Ole Miss player to ever earn SEC All-Freshman honors. A three-time SEC All-Academic honoree, he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and a Master's degree in Business Administration, before becoming a businessman and sports agent in the Memphis area.
