Ole Miss Earns Fourth‑Most Rankings

This total places the program tied for fourth most on the board behind Oregon, Texas and Notre Dame. The three selections span offense and defense, underscoring Ole Miss’s depth heading into the season.

Kewan Lacy Leads Rebels at #10

Kewan Lacy sits at #10, the first Ole Miss name on the board. He topped the nation in rushing attempts and led power‑four running backs in rushing touchdowns. Lacy also posted second‑place marks in total yards, yards after contact, and missed tackles. His effort sits just behind Ahmad Hardy of Missouri, who occupies #6.

Trinidad Chambliss Earns #12 Spot Among QBs

Trinidad Chambliss checks in at #12, ranking fourth among quarterbacks on the list. He trails Julian Sayin (4), Dante Moore (7) and Arch Manning (9). Chambliss recorded the second‑best pressure rating in the country and delivered his standout performance against Georgia in the playoffs.

Will Echoles Highlights Defensive Excellence at #19

Will Echoles rounds out Ole Miss’s presence at #19. He led the Power Four in pressures and stops as an interior defensive lineman, finishing only behind AJ Holmes Jr. of Texas Tech. Echoles’s pass‑rush impact earned him a coveted spot on the board.

Suntarine Perkins Shows Value as Edge Rusher

Suntarine Perkins is ranked the seventh‑best returning edge rusher, despite some size concerns. Among the top 10 returning players, he boasts the second‑most tackles and the fourth‑most sacks. Perkins has been the third most valuable edge player over the last two seasons.
