Ole Miss Football NFL Draft Tracker 2024 | Here’s Where the Rebels are Headed

OXFORD, Miss. — With the 2024 NFL Draft, Ole Miss football is adding to the number of Rebels in the ranks of the NFL. Bookmark this page as we will update it as Rebs are selected. (Last updated April 28, 2024 at 6:00 p.m.)

While Lane Kiffin’s team is returning most of its team for what the players are calling the “last dance” season, there are still a number of talented Rebels to watch who are looking to fulfill their pro dreams. EDGE Cedric Johnson, safety Daijahn Anthony and cornerback Deantre Prince all were invited to the NFL Combine and each heard their names called in this year’s Draft (see below).

There are also a number of highly-skilled Ole Miss players expected to land as undrafted free agents.
