Last Year: B . OFFENSIVE LINE. B-. . OL

The offensive line for Ole Miss was very young this season, after the loss of Laremy Tunsil to the NFL draft.

Freshman Gregory Little was called upon to shore up the blind side of the line, and did a good job of it once the season progressed. Javon Patterson is growing into a star on the line, as he played most of the season at guard and at center.

Robert Conyers will be the sole loss from the offensive line this year, after Conyers gave everything he had to Ole Miss for 4 years.

Sean Rawlings and Alex Givens also saw extended time on the line.

Rod Taylor was the one letdown of the group, as I thought he played well late last season and struggled this season.

Matt Luke and staff have a lot of young players on the team to work with, and if done correctly, the line could vastly improve next season.

Shea Patterson will need the line to be great next year if he wants to stay healthy, and the line will have to learn not to hold when he leaves the pocket.

The offense for the Rebels is looking bright next season.
