Barbara Gauntt/Clarion Ledger / USA TODAY NETWORK Somehow, there is still a chance In what seems to be their 17th must-win series in the last month, Ole Miss heads to Auburn to face the last place Tigers. The Rebels desperately need to sweep the weekend, but a series win mathematically keeps them alive for postseason play. Anything less than a series win effectively ends their season. As of Friday afternoon, Ole Miss is one game ahead of 13th place Missouri and tied for 12th with LSU. With only the top 12 SEC teams qualifying for Hoover, there is little room for error. Dropping the series to A ..read more

Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports Second Rebel to join Bengals this draft Only ten picks after the Bengals selected one Ole Miss player, it pulled the trigger on a second with Daijahn Anthony in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft. As a senior, Anthony recorded 61 total tackles, three interceptions and one massive forced fumble that will be remembered by Ole Miss fans for a long time. In the upset against LSU in Oxford, Anthony blasted QB Jayden Daniels to create a first quarter turnover that gave the Rebels a huge early advantage. The blingy names entering the transfer portal are fun, but i ..read more

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Big chili and noodles guy probably Edge rusher Cedric Johnson will join the likes of Joe Burrow and Jamarr Chase as the latest draft selection by the Cincinnati Bengals. Johnson, from Mobile, Ala., was chosen with the 214th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft in the sixth round. This is a huge pick-up late in the draft for the Bengals as Johnson piled up 19 sacks in his four seasons in Oxford and was a clear leader on defense the last two seasons. He was the 2023 Chucky Mullins award winner as the highest honor for any Ole Miss defensive player. The defensive end ran a 4.63 4 ..read more

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports The first Ole Miss player selected in the 2024 NFL Draft It is a long trip from Charleston, Mississippi to Jacksonville, Florida, but it’s one Rebel cornerback Deantre Prince will be happy to make. Prince was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday with the 153rd pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. His 4.38 second 40-yard dash and fastest 10-yard split at the combine clearly set aside the 6’0” defensive back with athleticism that can’t be taught. The senior DB played all four of his college seasons in Oxford and racked up six interceptions in his career. Prince als ..read more

Peter Casey-USA TODAY Sports Pedulla averaged 15 points a game or more the last two season Matthew Murrell and Brandon Murray are gone, leaving JuJu Murray looking for a running mate in the backcourt next season. Enter: Sean Pedulla from Virginia Tech. Pedulla started every game (66) for Virginia Tech the last two seasons. The 6’1” guard was third team All ACC last season as a Junior after averaging 16.4 points and 4.6 assists. If you are looking for a comparison to style of play, look no further than Grayson Allen minus the dunks. In fact, Allen’s senior season ended with him averaging 15.5 ..read more

Photo by Tim Warner/Getty Images Prince was a steadying presence at Ole Miss Soon after Lane Kiffin was hired at Ole Miss, it was announced Deantre Prince, a promising freshman who had among other things picked off Joe Burrow during his first season in Oxford would be departing. It was a blow to a team that had a lot of rebuilding to do. A year of junior college later, Prince re-enrolled at Ole Miss and won a starting cornerback job he wouldn’t relinquish until he graduated. Prince wasn’t prolific in generating turnovers, yielding just six interceptions and two fumbles forced across his four y ..read more

Bruce Newman/Special to the Clarion Ledger / USA TODAY NETWORK Don’t let the Rebs get hot? (please let them get hot) If another miracle run is in the tank for Ole Miss baseball, this weekend series is likely the determining series. Top 25 Alabama (7-11) comes into town one game ahead of the Rebels (6-12) and Missouri (6-12) in the SEC standings. Twelve of the fourteen SEC teams make the SEC tournament and Ole Miss is currently sitting at 12, one game ahead of LSU (5-13). The Rebels could make a massive statement with a series win over Alabama, which would give them cushion from the last seed w ..read more

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports The hard hitting safety made one of the biggest defensive plays of the year in Oxford In order to hang in the SEC, there has to be top-notch defensive backfield play and Ole Miss got every bit of that from Daijahn Anthony in his lone season in Oxford after two seasons at Liberty. It seemed like every big play or big hit on the defensive side of the ball involved Anthony in some way, including this one that no one in Oxford will forget for a long, long time: Anthony finished his one season in Oxford starting ten games and finishing fourth on the team with 61 tackle ..read more

Butch Dill-USA TODAY Sports Pete Golding secures another future star defender Well, would you look at that: Pete Golding has reeled in another high-profile defensive prospect, earning a commitment from arguably the top defender in Mississippi’s 2025 high school class. On Monday night, Lake Cormorant linebacker Jarcoby Hopson made the call to commit to the Rebs over offers from Auburn, Texas A&M, LSU, Texas, Arkansas, Florida State, Oregon, Mizzou, Mississippi State, and several other top programs.
