Three Players to Watch: Ole Miss

- Princely Umanmielen – The star Rebel defensive end has 5.0 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks over the last two games. He had a sack and two TFLs at South Carolina last year.

- Raheim Sanders – The former Arkansas star is eighth in the SEC, averaging 71.5 yards per game on the ground. Ole Miss fans know him all too well from his career-high 232-yard rushing game against the Rebels in 2022.
- Kyle Kennard – Kyle Kennard is fourth in the nation and leads the SEC in both tackles for loss (8.5) and sacks (5.5).
- Nick Emmanwori – Nick Emmanwori leads South Carolina in tackling with 24 and interceptions with two.
