Early Enrollees: A Pair of Linebackers

Brenden Williams @Brendenwms11

Fairfield, AL. (Northeast CC)

6’3 230lbs.

Committed: 12-10-16

The need for help at linebacker has been well documented. Getting Brenden Williams to commit in early December was welcomed news. However, getting him in for Spring practice was even better. Williams is the tackler that Ole Miss seemed to miss last year.

Although much attention is being given to who else we may sign, don’t overlook what Williams may bring to the team. If he uses this Spring to it’s full potential, he good be someone who challenges to be a day one starter. I’m looking forward to seeing him during the Grove Bowl.

Breon Dixon @Breondixon_4

Loganville, GA.

6’0 216lbs.

Committed: 1-1-17

There may have been players committed for longer than Breon Dixon, however he has become one of Ole Miss’ most ardent recruiters. The four star recruit brings to Ole Miss some more help at a position of need.

He is often compared to Denzel Nkemdiche because of his speed and his ability to always be near the ball. Dixon is also a play maker when he gets a chance to get his hands on the ball. He embodies what the Rebels are used to seeing with their landshark defense. It should be fun watching him on the field.
