No.7 Breeland Speaks DT/DE

Breeland Speaks played both defensive tackle and defensive end for Ole Miss football from 2014 thru 2017. Out of Callaway in Jackson, Mississippi Speaks became a solid fan favorite in his time at Ole Miss while producing defensively at a high level. Known to be quiet off the field Speaks could be totally different in a ballgame. Liked mostly because of his hard-hitting headhunting style Speaks was always a live wire on the field and put up really good numbers.

Speak finished his Ole Miss career with 127 total tackles with 15 TFL while getting 9 sacks. Speaks was also responsible for 1 forced fumble and 2 fumble recoveries. Although Speaks had another year of eligibility because of a 2014 red-shirt he declared for the 2018 NFL Draft. Breeland Speaks would be selected in the 2nd round as the 46th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Breeland begins his rookie season this fall.
