Ole Miss Lands Elite LB Keaton Thomas | Ole Miss Rebels Football News

Ole Miss is turning things around on defense by landing a game-changing linebacker: Keaton Thomas from Baylor. After a brutal 71st-ranked run defense last year, new coach Pete Golding wasted no time securing a superstar who racked up over 200 tackles and 14 tackles for loss at Baylor. Golding calls Thomas the most complete linebacker he’s ever coached — a speed demon who can stop the run and pressure the QB. But it’s not just about stats — Thomas is a natural leader, “wired the right way,” and brings a locker-room presence that could elevate the whole team. With Ole Miss running a four-two-five scheme, this move could be the key to becoming a much tougher defense in 2024.
