Gregory Little – Freshman

Greg Little was brought in for one reason, to replace Laremy Tunsil at left tackle. The job is tough, but Little was born for it. The 5* recruit chose the Rebels over hometown teams such as Texas and Texas A&M.

Little looks a lot like Tunsil, but with slower feet. While that is a criticism, it is something that Little can not really control. Tunsil had some of the quickest feet I have seen in my whole time watching football.

Little is a big hulk of an offensive lineman who can easily step into the role from day one. He has been working out with fellow incoming recruits this off-season. The relationship that Little has had with some of his fellow freshman is a big step for the tackle, as he will be the future leader of the offensive line at Ole Miss.

Little will have a tough match-up on day one, when he will have to face Florida State in Orlando to begin his career at Ole Miss. Watch for Little on September 5th, where he will face a stout, young Florida State defensive line.
