AJ Brown and Greg Little made the cut as the only two Rebels featured on Athlon Sports’ recently released list of Preseason College Football All-Americans.
AJ Brown was an obvious choice at wide receiver for First Team All-American. Brown, the stand out playmaking junior from Starkville, is coming off an explosive and unstoppable 2017 campaign where he accounted for 1,252 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. Even when Shea Patterson, suffered a season-ending knee injury early on, Brown found a way to still make plays when Jordan Ta’amu stepped in.
“(Brown) is poised to better those numbers in 2018 as a key component of Ole Miss’ high-octane
passing attack,” Athlon wrote in its decision.
