Ole Miss will be without two key players this Saturday and beyond.
Wide receiver Elijah Moore and tight end Kenny Yeboah announced on Thursday their intentions to opt out the remainder of the 2020 season and focus on preparations for the upcoming NFL Draft.
The announcements came as a surprise, with Ole Miss in the midst of practicing for the game at LSU this weekend to close out the regular season. If the Rebels receive a bowl bid on Sunday, as many expect to happen, Moore and Yeboah will not participate in that game, either.
“Since I was 6 years old I have had dreams about playing in the NFL and to make a better way for me and my family,” Moore’s announcement read in a tweet.
