Freshman Phenomenon
Standout freshman Winston Watkins recorded 111 receiving yards, the most by an Ole Miss freshman since Elijah Moore's 2018 performance against South Carolina. Watkins has 218 yards on 13 receptions this season. He's a powerful young playmaker and a rare talent for this Ole Miss squad.
Rebel Wall
The Rebels' offensive line ranks third in the SEC and 16th nationally, allowing just eight sacks this season. This unit has surrendered pressure on only 21.8% of dropbacks, the best mark in the SEC and fifth nationally in the FBS. This dominant front is anchored by senior Diego Pounds, sophomore Delano Townsend, sophomore Brycen Sanders, junior Patrick Kutas, and senior Jayden Williams.
