#4 AJ Brown

AJ Brown is one of the most high-profile players to wear red and blue, simply because he is from Starkvegas. He is the one who got away and fueled major discord across the state. Of course, he is a thrill show on the field and we can only imagine what this season holds for him.

Per OleMissSports.com, last season, AJ hauled in 29 passes for 412 yards (14.2 ypr) and 2 TDs. Some Rebel fans felt as though he wasn’t targeted enough as the season progressed. I seriously doubt that will even be an issue in the new Longo offense.

"“(Fans can expect) a lot of big plays,” sophomore receiver A.J. Brown said. “With Coach Longo’s offense, you can see explosive plays coming really soon.” ~OleMissSports.com"

Rebel fans can be sure of two things this Saturday. One, AJ will be open. Two, Aj will make the play. Under the new Longo offense, AJ could emerge as the best WR at Ole Miss this fall.
