Breeland Speaks – Sophomore

Breeland Speaks was one of the most impressive Rebels last season. He is the player I am looking forward to seeing more of this season.

Speaks was one of the more underrated prospects coming into Ole Miss by Rebel fans. After choosing Ole Miss, Speaks made strides early on and made his way onto the field with the Rebels.

Speaks filled in for Robert Nkemdiche in two games during the season, and during the Sugar Bowl. Speaks is a plug on the defensive line and stops the opposing offenses effectively.

Look for Speaks to be important on the defensive line this season, and could be a key piece for the Rebels this season.
