Many of the 2018-2019 Ole Miss athletes have graduated, but that doesn’t mean that their dreams of playing professionally have ended. Shooting guard Terence Davis, power forward Bruce Smith, outfielder Kylan Becker, pitcher Brittany Finney and Houston Roth are some of the most recent athletes to have the opportunity to live out their dreams.
Fans took to Twitter to congratulate the athletes for signing with their professional teams.
It wasn’t just the fans that congratulated their success but their former coaches took to Twitter as well to show their appreciation for each of their players.
Both Finney and Becker are teammates again on their professional team, while Stevens will start his career in Lebanon and Davis will begin his NBA career with the Denver Nuggets in the Summer League. As for Houston Roth he has officially signed with the Baltimore Orioles where former teammate Parker Caracci congratulated him.
