Ole Miss had unprecedented recruiting success during Hugh Freeze’s tenure, and no place more so than at the receiver position. Ole Miss has accumulated a stable of talented receivers in the previous three recruiting classes, and 2016 was no different.

A.J. Brown- The four-star wide receiver was the biggest steal of the 2016 class because of his hometown. The Starkville product elected to spend the next few years in Oxford as opposed to his hometown school, Mississippi State. Brown draws a lot of comparison to former Ole Miss star Laquon Treadwell because of the way he plays and because of his 6-foot-2-inch, 220-pound frame.
