As Ole Miss football draws ever closer to the 2020 season, there are even more Rebels being named to major national watchlists.

The 2020 Ole Miss football season is set to open in Houston as the Rebels face-off against Baylor of the Big12. Of course, Rebels fans are anxious to see what coach Lane Kiffin has up his sleeve as the new Ole Miss head coach. Ole Miss football fans already know the Rebels are loaded with talent and as the national watchlists emerge there are being Rebels tabbed. Recently OHT looked at Jerrion Ealy who was named to the Doak Walker Award watchlist and Elijah Moore who was named to the Biletnikoff Award watchlist.

This past week Ealy was also named to the Hornung Award watchlist. There were other Rebels named to watchlists as well. Linebacker Lakia Henry was named to the Butkus Award watchlist while punter Mac Brown was named to the Weurfell Award watchlist and graduate transfer TE Kenny Yeboah was named to the Mackey Award watchlist. OHT looks at these Rebels and the name behind each award.
