Allow us to begin building the case for why the Rebels receiving corps is going to be great this season with this 30-second Ole Miss hype video, which refers to the school as ‘Wide Receiver University.’

That nickname should prove to be well-earned in 2015. Ole Miss returns perhaps the best wideout in college football, Laquon Treadwell, and key contributors from last season, junior Quincy Adeboyejo and senior Cody Core. Adeboyejo, Core and Treadwell combined for 115 receptions, 1,503 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2014. And the numbers for all three should only improve.

The Rebels also add their marquee signings in the 2015 class, DeMarkus Lodge and Van Jefferson, as well as sophomore Damore’ea Stringfellow, who had to sit out last season after transferring from Washington but is said to be a physical specimen comparable to Treadwell in terms of athleticism.

Junior Derrick Jones, who has played cornerback and wide receiver for the Rebels over the years, is now playing on offense full time and expected to have an impact as well after an impressive spring and fall camp.

The 6-foot-3, 193-pound former four-star prospect Markell Pack is another talented Ole Miss receiving target with size and speed that provides yet another option down field for the Rebels.

That’s eight wide receivers that can cause some damage — and some, like Treadwell, can demolish you. And we haven’t even gotten to preseason All-American tight end Evan Engram.

Engram is one of the best pass-catching tight ends in all of college football. And he’s not just there for dump-offs and check-downs. Engram finished last season with an average of 17.4 yards per reception, playing both tight to the line and split out wide. At 6-foot-3, 227-pounds, Engram is built more like a receiver and runs like one too.

In fact, 6-foot-3 seems to be about the size that Hugh Freeze prefers for his pass catchers, seeing as how the ones that figure to contribute this season are all listed at either 6-foot-2 or 6-foot-3.

Size, speed, athleticism, experience — take your pick of the many attributes that make this receiving corps much closer to great than it is to just good.

Ole Miss has yet to decide on a starting quarterback between junior college transfer Chad Kelly and redshirt sophomores Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade. But all three have good arms and are athletic enough to run Hugh Freeze’s offense that often likes to utilize the quarterback as a runner.

Bo Wallace was a good college football quarterback but was by no means a pure passer. Wallace had plenty of success with the Ole Miss wide receivers and whichever passer emerges as the Rebels starter this season will have a similar but even deeper group to work with.

The Ole Miss wideouts will still need to produce on the field to fulfill the hype surrounding them. But soon, we could be asking ourselves, ‘Is this the best group of wide receivers in the nation?’
