Former Giles County and Ole Miss standout quarterback Bo Wallace is headed back to the Midstate.

Former Giles County and Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace is expected to join the coaching staff at Marshall County next week.

Wallace is set to join the coaching staff at Marshall County, according to Tigers coach Thomas Osteen.

He is expected to be hired next Tuesday.

“I am just thrilled, absolutely thrilled to have Bo join our staff,” said Osteen, who was quarterbacks and receivers coach and later the offensive coordinator at Giles County. “He was the first quarterback that I coached at Giles County. I’ve kept up with his career very closely and been to a lot of games since he’s been gone. He was a three-year starting quarterback in the SEC and there aren’t many of those guys around.”

Wallace, the state’s 2009 Class AA Mr. Football, will coach the quarterbacks at Marshall County.

Wallace’s brother Bryce will be a sophomore quarterback at Marshall County next season.

Marshall County went 12-2 last season and advanced to the semifinals of the Class 4A playoffs.

Osteen said Wallace spent the past year in Texas giving quarterback lessons, coaching at a private school and working at an automobile dealership.

In 2014 Wallace led Ole Miss to a 7-0 start and its first top-five national ranking since 1964.

He completed 229 of 381 passes for 3,194 yards with 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions as a senior in 2014.

Wallace tied Eli Manning as the winngest quarterback in Ole Miss history after setting several passing records.

He was not selected in the 2015 draft, but was invited to a tryout camp with Kansas City.
