Tah'j Butler Joins Ole Miss Legacy | Ole Miss Rebels Football News

Tah’j Butler, a New Orleans native and former Georgia Tech linebacker, is set to anchor Ole Miss’s defense in 2026 after transferring to the SEC — a move deeply influenced by his late friend Corey Adams, a former Ole Miss defender who died tragically last July. The two were high school rivals at Edna Karr, and Adams’ legacy lives on as Butler carries forward their bond, even sending him the team schedule on his first day at Ole Miss. With 34 tackles and an interception over two seasons at Georgia Tech, Butler thrives in a new downhill scheme that suits his physical style. He joins Keaton Thomas and Luke Ferrelli to bolster a formidable linebacker corps, all poised to help Ole Miss return to playoff contention. The Rebels open their season Sept. 6 against Louisville in Nashville. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
