Experienced secondary leading shuffled Rebel defense
After a full week of fall practice, players on every level of the Ole Miss defense are settling into their roles in a new defense.
Mike McIntyre’s 3-4 scheme gives unique newcomers like Sam Willams and Lakia Henry room to grow while verterans like Momo Sanogo and Donta Evans adjust their focus.
Lining up behind that shifting front is a defensive backfield with an even mixture of experienced starters and young talent all over the field.
“It’s seven of us in the room,” senior corner Myles Hartsfield said. “I would say we have the depth even though they’re young, but they showed they can play at a high level. Coach is expecting them to be able to go day one.”
