Is Shea Patterson the Most Exciting Ole Miss Signee Ever? If not, it's Close.

If you were to ask Ole Miss fans who the most exciting recruit in Ole Miss history is, they would likely (and accurately) answer Robert Nkemdiche, the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2013 class who went on to earn all-American honors as a defensive tackle at Ole Miss. Perhaps more importantly though, was Nkemdiche's commitment allowing Ole Miss to re-enter the conversation as a top recruiting program. His commitment begat others - namely Laremy Tunsil and Laquon Treadwell - and helped Ole Miss earn a top-five recruiting class that would eventually result in Ole Miss' first Sugar Bowl win in over four decades.
