Fall camp always features important position battles and this year is no different for Ole Miss.
The Rebels’ offensive line has a couple major question marks but has a big group, a veteran group, and a group that’s been pieced together through high school recruiting, junior college stops and a steady stream of transfers.
Some of these guys have played a lot of football, some are still trying to carve out a role, and a few are just getting their first taste of college camp. It’s a deep room with plenty of competition, and the staff will spend August sorting out who fits where and how the line might look in the season opener against Louisville.
The interior three positions are already set, based on all three starters from last season back in Oxford. Delano Townsend, Brycen Sanders and Patrick Kutas are all expected to maintain their starter status.
The two tackle spots are more of a question, though. Terez Davis has drawn rave reviews from coach Pete Golding and seems to be in line to start at either left or right tackle. The other spot is wide open and there are plenty of candidates to fill in.
Here’s a closer look at every offensive lineman on the roster heading into camp.
