Ole Miss defensive coordinator Dave Wommack tells us junior D.J. Jones, a first-year juco transfer who has steadily improved, will start at tackle in place of Robert Nkemdiche.
Redshirt freshman Breeland Speaks will play a significantly larger role, however.
Speaking to media in interviews after today’s practice at the Superdome Speaks presented himself as mature and eager for the chance to play more.
“I’ll play a lot more. I don’t know a definite number, but there will definitely be an increase in my snaps.
I’m always prepared regardless of the situation. I’m going to always be ready.
