BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Former standout Rockledge Raider, Ole Miss defensive back Ladarius Tennison will play college ball with the University of Central Florida after entering the transfer portal.
The former Ole Miss Rebel entered the transfer portal on January 5.
Tennison, a former 4-star ATH, just concluded his second season for the Rebels. In his two seasons at Ole Miss, he racked up 94 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, and two pass deflections.
He will be joining former teammates in ATH Jaylen Hayward and linebacker DJ Mccormick who will also be a part of the UCF Knights football team.
The former Rockledge Raider was named Space Coast Daily Player of the Year in 2019, and according to long-time Raider defensive coach Pat Lusk, Tennison was arguably the best player ever to wear Rockledge silver and Columbia blue.
Coach Lusk said Tennison could play every position on the field and “be better than anyone else, including QB, defensive line, offensive line, everything!”
Raider head coach Wayne Younger said Tennison “practices harder than anybody I’ve been around.”
