Roster Snapshot: A position-by-position look at the Ole Miss defense
Ole Miss added 10 scholarship players out of the transfer portal since the end of the season to go with 17 high school and junior college signees during the early signing period.
There will be more movement on and off the roster following spring practice and likely into the summer, as more players will enter the portal and change programs prior to the 2022 season. But prior to that, here's a snapshot of where the Ole Miss defensive roster currently stands. The offensive version can be found here.
We'll update this chart as needed and link it for quick reference moving forward.
A few notes: We are attempting to only include scholarship players, but on occasion we'll miss one. We'll correct it as we're aware of it, when that happens.
Also, a star next to a player's name indicates he has used his free one-time transfer. The COVID year designation indicates a player who is listed as a senior but has two years of eligibility remaining because of 2020 not counting because of the pandemic.
