After last season’s disappointment, Hugh Freeze and the Rebels will be counting on fresh talent to revive their fortunes in 2017.
Here’s a look at five freshmen who should make an impact for the Rebels.
LB Breon Dixon
The particulars: 5 feet 11, 200 pounds, true freshman
Recruiting background: 4-star prospect in 2017 signing class, from Loganville (Ga.) Grayson
The skinny: Dixon was a big get for Ole Miss in the 2017 recruiting cycle. Ole Miss needs linebacker, and Dixon seems to have a knack for finding the football.
