Ole Miss has been known for their wide receivers, and this year was no different. After losing Cody Core and Laquon Treadwell, the Rebels had to replace them with some fresh bodies.

Freshmen AJ Brown and DK Metcalf stepped up to the plate. Junior Damorea’ea Stringfellow also played an important role for Ole Miss.

The receivers would have received an A if they had not started dropping the balls late in the season. Around the Arkansas game, things got messy for the group.

Quincy Adeboyejo also regressed and was nearly non-existent this season.

Ole Miss has a commitment from 4* WR DD Bowie out of Morton, MS, but the Rebels will have to keep fighting for him late in the recruiting season.

With some questions regarding the offensive coaching staff, this group of players could be trying to learn under a new staff.

Shea Patterson will rely on the receivers next season, a position of strength currently for Ole Miss. Junior Damarkus Lodge will have to step up for Ole Miss if he wishes to contribute at all.
