In many years freshman recruits rated as highly as wide receivers DaMarkus Lodge and Van Jefferson would be needed to play big roles early for Ole Miss.
It’s not that way this season, and it’s unclear what roles that talented duo will play.
Houston Nutt signed some talented players in 2011. Nick Brassell was a deep threat in his first college game and almost pulled in a long touchdown pass that could have been a game winner in the Rebels’ 14-13 loss.
Brassell and Tobias Singleton didn’t last long in the program. Donte Moncrief did. All three played as freshmen.
