Let the quarterback competition for 2015 begin! The dramatic entrance of Chad Kelly is complete as the quarterback was reported by RebelGrove.com to be in Oxford on Sunday. The question now is whether Kelly can stay out of trouble. He's probably on something close to a zero-tolerance policy following the assault charges he was fortunate to escape in Buffalo. A zero-tolerance policy won't be the easiest thing to pull off in a college town like Oxford, but Kelly's future is riding on his good behavior. I'm betting he gets down to the business of competing for the right to throw to Laquon Treadwell and Damore'ea Stringfellow. With two years of practicing Freeze's offense under their belts, Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade won't be easy to beat out. The competition will be intense. This should be a fun spring. LINK.
The Most Wanted List
As recruiting season hits the home stretch, here's the list of elite prospects to watch closely:
1. Leo Lewis (LB) - The linebacker is committed to Ole Miss, but State and LSU are after him hard.
2. Drew Richmond (OT) - The Rebels need help on the offensive line, and it starts with Richmond. Richmond committed to the Rebels, but he is still being recruited by other schools.
3. Javon Patterson (OG) - He's committed, but again, the Rebels need this big guy on campus in the worst way.
4. Cece Jefferson (DE) - The LandShark D could always use another hungry defensive end. Ole Miss seems to be a favorite, but Florida wants Jefferson bad, too.
5. Van Jefferson (WR) - The more elite wide receivers the better. Ole Miss and Georgia and fighting for Jefferson.
6. DeMarkus Lodge (WR) - See above. As much as Freeze like to pass, there's plenty of room for Jefferson and Lodge. Lodge likes Ole Miss, but is considering other schools.
7. Toby Weathersby (OT) - Yes. More offensive linemen please.
8. Kendrick Norton (DT) - He's a big defensive tackle from Florida.
9. Jamal Peters (Safety) - He's committed to Mississippi State, but a last-second flip doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility. Plus, taking Bulldog commits is what makes recruiting season fun.
Ole Miss Whips Alabama
