With the Ole Miss football team losing their best offensive lineman in years, the Rebels look to find Laremy Tunsil’s replacement.

The Ole Miss offensive line has been a point of struggle during the Hugh Freeze days, outside of the left tackle position. The line has been a revolving door due to injuries and lack of talent. While guys have been solid and contributed, there have been some struggles.

From Rod Taylor injuring himself in the pre-season, to Robert Conyers tearing his ACL against Memphis. The Rebel line has been prone to injuries all season. The coaching staff pieced together an offensive line that led the Rebels to a 10-3 record and protected Chad Kelly as he broke numerous records.

This seasons line will look very different from last seasons, most importantly the absence of NFL 1st-round pick Laremy Tunsil will be replaced by a true freshman.
