Ole Miss football: NFL preseason updates and recruiting news

Former Ole Miss football players have begun their NFL preseason campaigns. During Week 1, several ex-Rebels recorded notable statistics, including Walter Nolen III of the Arizona Cardinals, who recorded one sack and one tackle for loss. Other players saw action for teams including the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals.

In college football recruiting, Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding is attempting to recruit four-star cornerback Deonte Flemings for the 2028 class. Flemings is currently committed to Penn State, but Ole Miss is leveraging family ties to land the Pennsylvania native. Flemings has noted the lack of distractions in Oxford as a positive aspect of the program.
