OXFORD — Ja-Mes Logan’s career game for Ole Miss last weekend came at a perfect time for the Natchez native.

Logan, a senior wide receiver for the Rebels, hauled in six catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns in Ole Miss’ 59-14 win against Idaho this past Saturday. The big day came in Logan’s final homecoming game of his college career, something that made the performance extra-special, he said.

“I felt pretty good coming into the game, and it was homecoming, so I wanted to give the fans something to cheer about,” Logan said. “Since it was the last homecoming game for me, I wanted to go out with a bang.”

Logan scored the Rebels’ first touchdown of the game on a 37-yard pass from Bo Wallace with 12:02 remaining in the first quarter. He later added a 65-yard touchdown reception at the 9:26 mark in the third quarter.

“The first touchdown was a double-move, and the cornerback and safety bit, so I was wide open,” Logan explained. “The second touchdown was a broken-down play, and the quarterback scrambled and I went long, and I outran everyone.”

Ole Miss’ receivers has gotten a lot of attention this season, with most of it being directed to junior Donte Moncrief and freshman Laquon Treadwell. Though he may not get the attention of those two, Logan said he doesn’t mind.

“It really doesn’t matter to me, because I feed off those guys,” Logan said. “You just have to go out there and play. No one can really double-team anyone. You just have to play man-to-man and pick your poison.”

As a player, Logan described himself as “sure-handed,” and he said his relationship with Wallace goes a long way in Wallace throwing him the ball.

“Me and Bo have a really good connection,” Logan said. “On certain plays and routes, if there’s a man in front of me, he knows my timing and how I’ll run the route.”

Logan also said he enjoys playing with Wallace, who likes to joke around a lot.

“He’s really a gamer,” Logan said. “He might say something that has nothing to do with the game, but it’ll be funny afterward. He’s a really fun guy to be around.”

At 5-3, the Rebels have a bye week this week before finishing up with Arkansas, Troy and Missouri at home and Mississippi State on the road.

“We’re pretty happy with how things are going right now,” Logan said. “We could easily be 3-5, and we could also be 7-1. We’re not satisfied, but we’ll take it. We’re going to try to win all four games.”

Logan was born in Natchez but moved to Houston, Texas, to attend high school. Most of his family still lives in Natchez, and Logan said he’ll usually visit twice a month.

“That was the whole purpose of me choosing Ole Miss,” Logan said. “I wanted to be able to play in front of my family. I had offers from all across the country, but I wanted to come back home.”

Logan is the son of Mickey Logan and the brother of Nook Logan. His uncles, Preston and Chris Logan, both live in Natchez.
