2016 Ole Miss football preview: Wide Receivers
By Randy Morgan
Ole Miss football preview: The Rebels have put themselves in the conversation as the new Wide Receiver U. The 2016 team is loaded at the WR position.
Ole Miss has had solid wide receivers for the past decade. From Mike Wallace and Shay Hodge, to Laquon Treadwell and Donte Moncrief. The Rebels currently have four NFL wide receivers in the league, Wallace, Treadwell, Moncrief, and Dexter McCluster.
The Rebels history with wide receivers had helped recruit and bring in stud receivers from all over the country. With Laquon Treadwell going in the 1st round of the 2016 NFL draft, expect even more big name receivers to commit to the Rebels.
The 2017 class already has one big name receiver committed, Morton, MS receiver D.D. Bowie. The Rebels are in one some more star recruits at the position as well, with Tee Higgins being the #1 priority at receiver.
WR coach Grant Heard has proven he can recruit and coach receivers from all across the country. Heard has had one of the strongest units on the team.
The slideshow will double as a depth chart for the position as well.
