Wide Receiver

First three - Tre Harris, Antwane Wells, Jordan Watkins

Tre Harris, Antwane Wells, and Jordan Watkins are set to be the starting three wide receivers on the field heading into fall camp. Kiffin has likely known that since spring, with it being a deadly trio of weapons for Jaxson Dart. Harris and Wells will line up predominantly outside, with Watkins in the slot.

As mentioned, expect this to rotate around, with Wells and Watkins switching in and out of the slot. Harris will stay out wide for most snaps due to his physical ability and is elite in contested catches.

Second three - Deion Smith, Ayden Williams, Cayden Lee

Ole Miss's second set of receivers could be the first choice on most FBS programs' rosters. Deion Smith is a JUCO transfer who showed talent as a freshman at LSU. There are still question marks about when he is set to arrive on campus, potentially missing fall camp.

Cayden Lee and Ayden Williams both saw little action as freshmen. Now in their second season, I expect to see them rotated in more than we saw last season, with both being talented receivers. Lee and Smith can play out of the slot and wide, with Williams predominantly an outside receiver but can also play inside.

Behind these six, there is also more depth in transfer Jordan Smart and walk-on Devin Price, who could contribute. Freshman Noreel White is uber-talented and may also see some snaps, especially if the early games are one-sided.

Tight End

Caden Prieskorn, Dae'Quan Wright, Hudson Wolfe, Dillon Hipp

Another position is set in stone, with Caden Prieskorn, the No.1 tight end, seeing the most production. Virginia Tech transfer Dae'Quan Wright will be utilized, with Ole Miss potentially using more two tight end sets. Ole Miss will be hoping Wright will be what the coaching staff wanted Michael Trigg to be last season.

Hudson Wolfe is a reliable pass blocker and could step up if any unfortunate injuries occur. Ole Miss also has freshman Dillon Hipp, who is unlikely to see much action this season.
