Ole Miss Gauntlet: Six Top-25 Battles

Ole Miss braces for a brutal 2026 schedule, facing six top-25 teams in a true gauntlet. Former Rebels now battle them on opposing sides — LSU’s Princewell Umanmielen and TJ Dottery will shut down Ole Miss’s run game, forcing Deuce Alexander to battle LSU’s elite corner DJ Pickett. In Missouri, Cayden Lee and Jaylon Braxton clash as teammates turned rivals, with Lee as the focal point and Braxton tasked with stopping him. The road to Texas pits Ole Miss against Arch Manning’s rising brilliance, demanding Luke Ferrelli’s elite pass-rushing to contain him. And against Georgia, Kewan Lacy must overcome Raylen Wilson’s pressure, while Suntarine Perkins leads the charge to stop Georgia’s run. Peak performance is non-negotiable — this season’s a test of grit, preparation, and heart. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
