Injury Report: Ole Miss, Kentucky Enter SEC Opener With Key Players Questionable on Wednesday Availability List

OXFORD, Miss. — The first SEC showdown of the 2025 football season has No. 20 Ole Miss heading to Lexington to face Kentucky.

The big question for the Rebels (1–0) heading into Friday night’s contest is health. The league’s first official player availability report of the year, released Wednesday, gave some answers.

Ole Miss was already without several important contributors in its season-opening rout of Georgia State. Among those missing were cornerback Jaylon Braxton, offensive lineman Delano Townsend, and tight end Luke Hasz, all three transfers.

For Hasz, Wednesday’s update didn’t bring encouraging news. He is listed as Out, joined by wide receivers Caleb Cunningham and Traylon Ray.

Meanwhile, Braxton and Townsend are both Questionable, as are defensive backs Ricky Fletcher and Dante Core, plus starting tight end Dae’Quan Wright.
