Representing us at SEC Media Days for July 22nd: QB Trinidad Chambliss RB Kewan Lacy DT William Echoles #HottyToddy pic.twitter.com/lCsMlyeOyA Ole Miss Football (@OleMissFB) July 14, 2026 Last year, Austin Simmons, Cayden Lee and TJ Dottery represented the Rebels, and all three are now at other SEC schools.
Chambliss, Lacy and Echoles all get plenty of media attention, however, so this is a really great group to represent the team ahead of one of its most anticipated seasons.
Chambliss had one of the most electric seasons under center ever for Ole Miss last year leading the team to a national semifinal appearance.
He passed for nearly 4,000 yards with 22 touchdowns and only three interceptions while rushing for more than 500 yards and eight more touchdowns.
Without a doubt, Chambliss is going to be asked a lot of questions about this eligibility battle with the NCAA which involved a lawsuit and a local court injunction to allow his ability to play in 2026.
It will be interesting to see how he handles those questions from reporters around the conference who are definitely in their feelings knowing Chambliss is back again.
Lacy had a historic season as well amassing 1,567 rushing yards and a school record 24 touchdowns.
He has received preseason All American and All SEC honors already, and he could leave Tampa with more recognition from coaches and the press.
Echoles, for my money, is the heart and soul of this Ole Miss defense.
He is born and raised Mississippi guy who is charismatic and has a million dollar smile.
Last season, he notched 32 tackles and five sacks in a deep defensive line rotation, and hell be looked to as one of the leaders in the locker room and defense this season.
