The Ole Miss Rebels have numerous new pieces on their offensive line this season, but who will make their way into the starting five?
once again did plenty of work in the transfer portal this offseason, but one group that is sometimes overlooked in this conversation is the offensive line., including Gerquan Scott , Diego Pounds , Julius Buelow and Nate Kalepo . On Monday, head coach Lane Kiffin was asked about his assessment of these new linemen in what has quickly become a deep unit in the Rebels offense.
Kiffin has often preached on breeding competition in his position groups, but that isn't always the primary goal for him in the portal. Instead, he views it through the lens of overall roster construction, yet another theme he draws from the NFL. For now, there isn't much clarity on who will be where along the offensive line when the season kicks off on Aug. 31 against Furman, although Kiffin did say that Scott "has done a really good job" at both guard and center. The "big uglies" up front may not get the same amount of attention as their defensive counterparts, but the Ole Miss staff has gone to great lengths to both protect their quarterback and open lanes for a new-look backfield this season.
