Ole Miss’s trials and triumphs extend beyond the field

Unprecedented is a word that can be associated with the Ole Miss football program both on and off of the field.

Since Hugh Freeze took the reins in December 2011, it has been on an upward trajectory.

He reeled in a 2013 recruiting class headlined by Laremy Tunsil, Robert Nkemdiche and Laquon Treadwell. It was the highest-rated group in school history until it was topped by the 2016 class. It marked the beginning of a run of unprecedented recruiting success that has included two top-ten classes in the last three seasons and four consecutive top-15 classes. It had never had back-to-back classes rated that high previously.
