Ole Miss UDFA Tracker: Here’s the Latest on Where Former Rebels are Headed

OXFORD, Miss. — Ole Miss continues to send talent to the next level. While the Rebels saw two players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, several others have already found homes as undrafted free agents, continuing the program’s growing presence across the league.

Draft Recap

Ole Miss had two players hear their names called during the draft:

• Round 2, Pick 33: De’Zhaun Stribling — WR, San Francisco 49ers
• Round 7, Pick 217: Jayden Williams — OT, Arizona Cardinals

But as always, the story doesn’t end when the draft does.

UDFA Tracker

Diego Pounds — Baltimore Ravens

Offensive tackle Diego Pounds is headed to Baltimore after signing with the Ravens. The 6-foot-6, 335-pound lineman brings ideal size and experience, having spent time at North Carolina before becoming a starter at Ole Miss. His combination of length and strength gives him a legitimate opportunity to compete at the tackle position at the next level.

Wydett Williams Jr. — Arizona Cardinals

Safety Wydett Williams Jr. is also Arizona-bound after agreeing to terms with the Cardinals. Williams made his presence felt in the Rebels’ secondary, totaling 42 tackles and three interceptions in 2025. His physicality and ball skills should give him a chance to carve out a role.

Dae’Quan Wright — Philadelphia Eagles

Tight end Dae’Quan Wright is taking his talents to Philadelphia as an UDFA. At 6-foot-4, 255 pounds, Wright offers a blend of size and athleticism that fits the modern NFL tight end mold. After transferring from Virginia, he became a key piece of the Rebels’ offense, finishing his Ole Miss career with over 1,000 receiving yards.

Kapena Gushiken — Philadelphia Eagles

Defensive back Kapena Gushiken will join Wright in Philadelphia, signing with the Eagles as well. Gushiken’s versatility in the secondary and ability to contribute in multiple roles made him a valuable piece during his time in Oxford.

Harrison “Trey” Wallace — Arizona Cardinals

Wide receiver Harrison Wallace is headed to the Cardinals, giving Arizona another former Rebel to evaluate. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound playmaker transferred from Penn State and brought versatility to the Ole Miss offense, contributing as both a receiver and punt returner while showing strong yards-after-catch ability.

Tahj Chambers — Indianapolis Colts

Linebacker Tahj Chambers has signed with the Indianapolis Colts after a solid season in Oxford. Chambers recorded 46 tackles (27 solo), three pass breakups, and a quarterback hurry last season. Known for his downhill, physical style, he consistently made plays in the run game and should have an opportunity to compete, particularly on special teams.

Still Available

As the post-draft signing period continues, a few Rebels remain available, including:

• DL Zxavian Harris
• LB Andrew Jones
• RB Logan Diggs
• LB Tyler Banks
• TE Trace Bruckler

With draft picks and a growing list of undrafted signings, Ole Miss once again showed its ability to develop NFL-caliber talent. It’s another step forward for a program that keeps producing players ready for the next level.
