Trio of Rebels Prep for 2024 NFL Scouting Combine
2/27/2024 | Football
INDIANAPOLIS – Three Ole Miss Rebels will be in Indianapolis over the next several days to participant in the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.
Daijahn Anthony, Cedric Johnson and Deantre Prince all received invitations to the combine and will do interviews and meet with interested teams throughout the course of the annual event.
More than 600 NFL personnel, including head coaches, general managers, scouts and medical staff representing all 32 teams, will attend the Scouting Combine and evaluate 300-plus of the nation's top college players eligible for the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.
Anthony, Johnson and Prince will all go through an extensive series of drills, workouts, testing and measurements in front of league scouts and personnel at Lucas Oil Stadium beginning Thursday, Feb. 29. All drills and workouts will be available on NFL Network, NFL+ and NFL.com.
The three invitees will return to Oxford later in several weeks to participate in Ole Miss' annual Pro Day, slated for March 27.
Anthony made an immediate impact for the Ole Miss defense in his lone season in a Rebel uniform. The Richmond, Virginia, native appeared in all 13 games with 10 starts in the Rebel defensive backfield. Anthony, a transfer from Liberty, finished fourth on the team with 61 tackles and tied for the team lead with three interceptions and eight pass breakups. He also earned the start at safety in the East-West Shrine Bowl, tallying two tackles.
Johnson, a four-year letterwinner for the Rebels, appeared in 46 career games at Ole Miss and started 29 games since arriving on campus in 2020. The winner of the 2023 Chucky Mullins Courage Award, Johnson saw action in 12 games with 10 starts last season. Johnson earned honorable mention All-SEC accolades by the College Football Network as he tallied 40 total tackles on the season, with 6.5 sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss. He led the team with 12 quarterback hurries in 2023.
Prince was a consistent piece and staple at the cornerback spot for the Rebel defense in his four seasons in Oxford. The Charleston, Mississippi, native appeared in 51 total games and started 36 contests for Ole Miss. He finished his collegiate career with six total interceptions and 100-plus tackles. In 2023, Prince started all 13 games at cornerback and registered 36 total tackles and one interception on the season.
