Ole Miss Football: 3 freshmen who’ll have major impacts in 2022

Ole Miss football signed the No. 24 class in the country for 2022 and there are a handful of guys who could compete right away.

Lane “Portal King” Kiffin has done a fantastic job in a short time with Ole Miss football. He has turned the program around after Matt Luke struggled to keep it afloat.

Kiffin signed the No. 17 recruiting class in 2021 and took a slight step back in 2022 with the No. 24 class. He signed a lot of prospects who could come in and have an impact right away to help the Rebels get back to the New Year’s Six next season.

Which incoming freshmen will have the biggest impacts in 2022?

Ole Miss is losing plenty from its receiving corps and the receiver room is looking a little bare. Lane Kiffin did look to the portal to add guys like Malik Heath and Jordan Watkins to the receiving corps which will undoubtedly have an immediate impact.

But Jeremiah Dillon is one of the more talented players in the Rebels’ 2022 class. He’s a four-star receiver and he’s ranked the No. 329 overall recruit in the class. He’s coming in with the hopes of playing right away and I think he can do that as the offense looks for answers after losing plenty from a New Year’s Six team in 2021.

Dillon has decent size at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds and he has plenty of speed because he doubles as a track star.

It looks like Kiffin just found his next breakout receiver star.
