OXFORD, Miss. – In addition to Saturday’s Ole Miss football game against Tulane at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, there will be several other signature events for the Rebel Nation in New Orleans this weekend.
A highlight of the weekend will be former Ole Miss running back Deuce McAllister’s induction into the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame.
McAllister, a native of Morton, Miss., was elected to the class of 2012 for the Saints Hall of Fame by the Media Selection Committee of the hall. The induction will take place on Friday as part of Saints Hall of Fame All Saints Weekend.
McAllister played for the Saints for eight seasons from 2001-2008. A two-time Pro Bowler (2002 and 2003), McAllister was a first-round draft pick of the Saints in the 2001 NFL Draft (23rd overall). He retired as the leading rusher in the history of the franchise, amassing 6,096 yards on 1,429 carries (4.3 avg.). He is the all-time leader in touchdowns with 55 and rushing touchdowns with 55. In addition, McAllister ranks fifth all-time in scoring with 330 points and ranks 10th in receptions with 234. He led the Saints in rushing in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006. McAllister was named first-team All-NFC by Pro Football Weekly in both 2002 and 2003.
Ole Miss Athletics Director Ross Bjork and other athletics officials will be present at Sunday’s Saints home game (noon kickoff) against the Kansas City Chiefs (which features former Rebels Dexter McCluster, Jerrell Powe and Kendrick Lewis). The Pride of the South Ole Miss marching band will perform at halftime.
Tickets for the 24th Annual Saints Hall of Fame Induction Luncheon and the 13th Annual All Saints Night Gala are on sale through Ticketmaster.
The 24th Annual Saints Hall of Fame Induction Luncheon is set for Friday, September 21 at noon in the Bienville Room of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
The 501(c)(3) Saints Hall of Fame is a non-profit museum, located at Gate B on the Plaza Level of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, is open to the public by appointment and on certain Saturdays each year at a cost of $7 per person or $5 per group of 10 or more.
