Rebels’ Pass Rush Revival | Ole Miss Rebels Football News

Ole Miss’ pass rush took a hit last season with just 33 sacks, down from 52 the year before — but the coaching staff is confident they’re building something special. After losing top sack leaders Princewill Umanmielen and Da’Shawn Womack, they’ve stocked up with transfers Jordan Renaud, Blake Purchase, and Jonathan Maldonado, plus returning stars Suntarine Perkins and Kam Franklin — and freshman Landon Barnes is already making waves. Maldonado says their depth and blend of power and speed make them dangerous, while Purchase is being called out as a potential SEC sack leader. The defensive coordinator admits they’re not yet better than last year, but believes this group has the firepower to surpass it if they play smart.
