Ole Miss Defense Rising with Barnes | Ole Miss Rebels Football News

Ole Miss is poised to be a dark horse in the SEC this year, with their defense emerging as the real story behind their potential playoff run. While the offense boasts talent, it’s the defense—led by a rising freshman, four-star defensive end Landon Barnes—that could make the difference. Barnes, a 6’3”, 250-pound wrecking ball from Duncanville High, already racked up 21 tackles for loss and 9 sacks last season. He’s expected to see significant snaps alongside veterans like Suntarine Perkins and Will Echoles, where his athleticism and run-stopping ability will be crucial. With a deep, young defensive unit and Coach Golding’s rotating strategy, Barnes could be the breakout star that helps Ole Miss turn last year’s near-miss into a playoff reality.
