10. Shepard Smith – Ole Miss Rebels

The biggest Ole Miss fan on our list is Shepard Smith, who may not be a huge named celebrity, but his love for the Rebels is unmatched. Smith was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi, and actually attended Ole Miss. He has been in love with the school since then, and is one of the more vocal celebrities when it comes to showing his allegiance to his team.

Smith majored in journalism during his time at Ole Miss, though he left school just two credits shy of graduating. Another member of our list who is not an actually alum of the school, Smith is always quick to go back to the school and attend football games. He also has been involved in the school in other ways, delivering the commencement speech back in 2008.

During his time at Ole Miss, Smith met his former wife, Virginia Dodd. The two were married back in 1987, but divorced in 1993 and had no children. In 2017, Smith came out as a gay man, and has been an advocate for LGBT rights ever since. No matter what has been going on his life, Smith remained true to the Rebels, and is widely regarded as one of the biggest college football fans out there.

The Rebels have some incredible fans, and have been represented well on our list of the top-30 celebrity college football fans. Smith is not only a great fan of the Rebels, but an ambassador for the school, and though he holds no degree from Ole Miss, he is a Rebel for life.
