Rebels in the 2025 NFL Draft: How to watch and track Ole Miss players throughout the Draft

OXFORD, Miss. — The 2025 NFL Draft begins tonight at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, and Ole Miss football looks to have potentially a double-digit number of players chosen over the three-day period.

The school record for most players drafted in a single year was 1971, when nine Rebels, including Archie Manning, were selected.

The first round begins today, Thursday, April 24 at 7 p.m. CT. Rounds 2-3 are set for Friday, April 25 starting at 6 p.m. CT. The final rounds 4-7 will take place Saturday beginning at 11 a.m. CT. Draft coverage will be broadcast on ESPN, ESPN2 and the NFL Network.

Over the course of program history, the Rebels have had 23 players selected in the first round and 261 overall picks. This year, analysts predict the Rebels could have at least one player chosen in the first round, if not two, with more to come in the following rounds. Conventional wisdom suggests it could be Walter Nolen and/or Jaxson Dart who are taken in the first round.

The Rebels have had two quarterbacks taken in the first round in program history, Eli Manning and Archie Manning. Eli is the only No. 1 overall pick Ole Miss has had in school history. Archie was picked No. 2 by the New Orleans Saints. Incidentally, it is worth noting that the last time the Saint drafted a quarterback in the first round, it was Ole Miss’ Archie Manning. There are some draft analysts who feel Dart could be drafted by the Saints. (For a look at where the draft boards have Dart, click here.)

The most recent player from Ole Miss to be taken in the first round came in 2017 when tight end Evan Engram was selected by the New York Giants with the No. 23 overall pick.
