Two nights of sleep is all that separates us until Ole Miss football takes to the field for its first preseason practice of the 2026 season.
Plenty of eyes will be on the Rebels’ offensive units as it prepares for its first season without Lane Kiffin and a new offensive coordinator in John David Baker. Fortunately for the Ole Miss, that transition shouldn’t be too difficult with stars Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy in the backfield, an offensive line returning a core of All-SEC linemen and a receiver corps filled with veterans and freshman capable being significant contributors.
Ole Miss has to replace a couple of starters from last year’s playoff team, most notably De’Zhaun Stribling who was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers.
But there are options galore for Baker to use in what’s expected to be another fast-paced, high-flying offense. That’s the type of offense that requires a platoon of receivers to come in and out of games.
Here’s a breakdown of the wide receivers Ole Miss has on its roster.
