Ole Miss offense takes a hit with transfer portal and players declaring for 2022 draft

OXFORD, Miss. (WTOK) - The Ole Miss Rebels offense has been losing a ton players due to declaring for the 2022 NFL draft and the transfer portal.

The number one NFL draft quarterback prospect, Matt Corral, was one of the first Ole Miss players to announce he would take his talents into the NFL draft this year. Ever since his announcement, it has been a downpour of players entering the transfer portal or heading into the NFL draft.

Ole Miss Forever.

The Rebels will not only look to see who they can pick up from the transfer portal themselves, but will also be on the hunt for a new defensive coordinator.
