Position Breakdown: wide receiver and tight end

Ole Miss has brought in many highly-rated receivers in the past few seasons, and with that talent has come a new nickname: Wide Receiver U.

Ole Miss has earned the moniker, with Shay Hodge breaking records for the Rebels while Mike Wallace and Donte Moncrief turned productive Rebel careers into impressive pro careers before star wideout Laquon Treadwell and Cody Core became the most recent Rebels to take their talents to the NFL.
