Ole Miss leads the nation with 21 players on Reese's Senior Bowl watch list

We are just days away from the first Saturday of the new college football season, and although it features just four games, it's still the time to get excited. Ole Miss will get its 2024 season underway the following Saturday as it welcomes FCS side Furman to Oxford.

The first game of the college football season will be in Dublin, Ireland, as Florida State faces Georgia Tech in a mouthwatering ACC clash. With the season days away, the Reese's Senior Bowl announced the names they will be watching this season, with a select number making it to Mobile, Alabama.

Ole Miss had a record 21 players make the Reese's Senior Bowl yesterday, the most from one team. Below are the Rebels players Jim Nagy and his staff will watch closely this season.

Princely Umanmielen, Walter Nolen, Antwane Wells, Tre Harris, Caden Prieskorn, Jaxson Dart, Micah Pettus, J.J. Pegues, Jared Ivey, Ulysses Bentley, Khari Coleman, Yam Banks, Trey Washington, Trey Amos, Jeremy James, Key Lawrence, Jordan Watkins, Logan Diggs, Chris Paul Jr., Isaiah Hamilton, and Gerquan Scott.

The Reese's Senior Bowl is a post-season all-star game that gives draft-eligible college athletes the spotlight in front of NFL scouts. The all-star game will be on Saturday, February 1, with a week of training drills for each positional group that scouts will watch closely.

The 2024 senior bowl saw former Ole Miss defensive end Cedric Johnson Jr. receive an invite and perform well, especially in the practice drills. The Cincinnati Bengals selected Johnson in round 6 of the 2024 NFL Draft, and he looks to have a chance of making the 53-man roster.

Ole Miss, with plenty of talented seniors on the roster, will likely have a good showing in the 2025 Senior Bowl. The recent change in allowing juniors to attend the Senior Bowl means defensive tackle Walter Nolen could make it to Mobile this season.
