Quincy Adeboyejo – Senior

Adeboyejo has been a Rebel favorite since he first stepped on the Ole Miss campus. The 6’3″ speedster has played in every game the Rebels have played since he stepped on campus. The definition of a durable star.

He has improved his stats every season, from doubling his yards from 2014 to 2015, to increasing his touchdowns be 5 from ’14 to ’15. The receiver from Texas is looking to continue his improvements and work his way into the NFL draft discussion.

Adeboyejo has been improving himself this off-season, working with QB Chad Kelly. Quincy told OMSpirit.com’s Ben Garrett that he is looking to gain some weight this off-season, but has struggled in doing so. 

"“I’ve been trying to gain weight. It hasn’t really been working. This summer, that’s one thing I’m going to try to do to get up to 205. I’ve never been there, so I don’t know what it’ll feel like, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to sustain my speed.”"

Adeboyejo will look to have an improved role on the Rebel offense after the NFL took receivers Laquon Treadwell and Cody Core from the Rebels.
