Ole Miss Combine Tracker: Keep Up with the Rebels at the 2025 NFL Combine

Ivey’s college career showcased both his disruptive potential and areas for improvement, reflecting his feast-or-famine playing style according to his combine overview. The edge rusher totaled 17.5 sacks, 165 tackles, and four forced fumbles, using his length and fluid upper-body movement to slip past blockers and knock down a ton of passes at the line of scrimmage. His ability to generate pressure makes him a viable rotational piece in a 4-3 scheme with interior sub-rush upside.

Nolen’s blend of explosiveness and play strength made him a disruptive force on the interior in college, racking up 11.5 sacks and 116 tackles while consistently creating chaos in the backfield. Though his pass-rush technique needs refinement, his ability to win one-on-one battles and generate quick pressure flashes pro-level potential. According to many draft analyst, Nolen projects as a high-upside, three-down defensive lineman at the next level.

Pegues showcased rare versatility at Ole Miss, excelling as both a disruptive interior defender and a short-yardage offensive weapon. He totaled 10 sacks and five pass deflections in his college career, rushing for seven touchdowns in 2024, using his power and surprising agility to impact both sides of the ball. While his consistency and first-contact explosiveness could improve, his quick hands, feet and change-of-direction ability give him the potential to be a highly productive defensive lineman at the next level according to his draft overview.

Umanmielen’s blend of burst, length and bend made him a relentless pass-rushing force, racking up 25.5 career sacks with a skill set that should translate to the next level. While his instincts and run defense need development, his ability to gain ground quickly and disrupt the pocket makes him a dangerous edge threat. As an ascending stand-up rusher, Umanmielen has the athletic traits to refine his game and become a consistent pass-rush presence in the NFL.

Paul’s steady development as a weakside linebacker translated into strong production, totaling 223 tackles, 9.5 sacks, five pass deflections and an interception. His sound tackling, disciplined play and ability to blitz or drop into coverage make him a reliable fit in a 4-3 scheme. While he could benefit from playing with more downhill urgency, his improving instincts and assignment-oriented approach give him room to grow into a dependable defensive contributor.

Amos proved he could handle the jump to SEC competition, using his length and physicality to disrupt receivers while tallying 31 pass deflections, four interceptions and 122 tackles. His twitchy footwork and instincts make him effective in zone coverage, though occasional hesitation and deep-ball support remain areas for improvement. With his press ability and playmaking traits, Amos has the tools to develop into a solid starting outside corner at the next level.

Dart’s steady improvement over three seasons in the SEC culminated in program record-setting production, totaling 11,970 career passing yards, 81 touchdown passes, and 1,543 rushing yards with 14 scores on the ground. While he thrives in a structured, ball-control offense with his accuracy and decision-making, he’ll need to develop better anticipation to consistently win in tight windows at the next level. With a tough playing style and functional mobility, Dart’s game draws comparisons to Brock Purdy, making him an intriguing prospect for teams seeking a poised, system-friendly quarterback.

Bentley flashed big-play potential throughout his career, amassing 2,591 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns with his quick acceleration and breakaway speed. However, his lack of vision and power limits his ability to create yards after contact, making him a better fit in a scheme with defined running lanes. With untapped pass-catching ability and potential special teams value, Bentley profiles as a complementary back who could carve out an RB3 role at the next level.

Tre Harris proved to be a dynamic playmaker throughout his career, racking up 3,542 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns with his combination of size, speed, and ball-tracking ability. His ability to stretch the field and win contested catches makes him a valuable deep threat, though refining his route-running could elevate his game further. With his production and physical tools, Harris projects as a reliable outside receiver with the potential to contribute immediately in a vertical passing attack.

Watkins carved out a productive career as a reliable target, totaling 2,682 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns while excelling in the short and intermediate game. Though he lacks elite speed and length, his toughness, play strength, and ability to fight through contact make him a dependable slot option. With his sure hands and special teams value as a punt returner, Watkins has the traits to compete for a role as a possession receiver at the next level.

Wells accumulated 3,371 career receiving yards and 34 touchdowns primarily through his build-up speed and strength after the catch. While he’s a tough runner with the ball in hand, his route-running lacks the suddenness needed to consistently separate, and he struggles in contested situations. Wells’ traits and ball skills, though solid, don’t stand out enough to project him as a standout receiver at the next level without refinement in key areas.
