The Rebels lacked depth up front, so Hugh Freeze went out and signed five quality lineman to compliment his outstanding skill-position talent.
Much has been made of Ole Miss' huge offensive haul on Signing Day, and for good reason: Hugh Freeze and company signed one of the best skill position classes in the country. As the saying goes, however, games are won and lost up front on the offensive line, which has been perceived as a position of weakness the Rebels in recent years. Throw in the departures of five regular 2015 contributors (Laremy Tunsil, Aaron Morris, Fahn Cooper, Ben Still, and Justin Bell) and Freeze desperately needed reinforcements up front.
