The Backups

Guys like Sean Rawlings and Daronte Bouldin have made strides while at Ole Miss. Rawlings is in a position to start at right tackle this season, but I personally think that Liggins will get the call at RT for the season opener.

Rawlings has the talent to make a push for the starting position, but with Little coming in to take over left tackle, I expect Liggins to get moved into the right tackle spot.

Bouldin could start on the line if the Rebels experience some injuries, but I hope to see Bouldin on the sideline. That means the Rebels are playing well and healthy.

Rod Taylor could make a run at a starting position as well, and if he returns 100% healthy, I would slip him in over Liggins and Rawlings at right tackle.

Alex Givens is a name that many see impact at the left tackle position this season, but with Greg Little coming in, I don’t see Givens making too many starts at the position. The RS-Freshman is ready to make his stand for Ole Miss, but is there a spot for him right now?
