4. Chester Graves, 4-Star DE (Kansas City, Missouri)

Graves is listed as a defensive end but can easily play linebacker as well, adding to his value for the Ole Miss staff. As previously stated, this team needs all of the linebackers that they can get. The Rebel defense was bad in 2016 and the linebacker position was one of if not the biggest reason as to why it was so bad. Chester Graves is disruptive at the line and has the speed to get to the edge to catch players out of the backfield, which is what Ole Miss needs out of its linebackers going forward.

Graves visited Ole Miss during the January 27th visit weekend and the main competition for Ole Miss for Graves’ signature are the Missouri Tigers. Graves is from Missouri and getting him out of his home state might be difficult but the Rebels appear to be hopeful.

Chester Graves is ranked as the 16th best defensive end in the nation and the number one prospect out of Missouri by 247sports.
