The main statistical categories can already be chalked up for Ole Miss.

Future NFL first-round pick Laquon Treadwell will lead the Rebels in receiving. The quarterback, whether it be Chad Kelly, Ryan Buchanan or DeVante Kincade, will dominate the passing stats. And the most sacks will come from one of the Rebels studs on the defensive line — maybe it will be preseason All-American Robert Nkemdiche for the first time in his collegiate career.

But what about the stats that don’t generally get discussed but help win football games just as much like reception-to-touchdown ratio, tackles for loss, all-purpose yards and pass break-ups?

We took a look at which Ole Miss players will excel in these overlooked statistical categories this season.

TOUCDOWN TECHNICIAN – CODY CORE

Receptions are great and can be very telling of a receiver’s success. And while quantity is good when it comes to catching calls, quality is better. And there’s nothing in football of better quality than a touchdown.

Core can score. That rhymes and is a fact.

Of the returning Rebels receivers, Core had the best reception-to-touchdown ratio for Ole Miss last season, scoring once every 6.8 times he caught the ball. As a 6-foot-3, reliable red zone target, Core finished last season with 6 touchdowns and will look to build upon that number this year.

THE HEAT-SEEKING MISSILE – TONY CONNER

It’s not very often that the team leader in tackles for a loss comes from the secondary. But Conner isn’t your typical defensive back.

Conner tied for the team lead and led all SEC defensive backs last season with 9 tackles for a loss. He is considered one of the most physical defenders in all of college football and is not afraid to play up near the line and make an anticipatory play in the backfield.

Conner has also added a sack in each of his two previous seasons in Oxford and ended last year as the team’s second-leading tackler with 69. He has a way of finding the ball regardless of where it is on the field.

MR. VERSATILITY – JAYLEN WALTON

There’s a reason Walton is on the preseason watch list for the Paul Hornung Award, which is given to the nation’s most versatile player each year.

The starting running back and kick returner, Walton enters his senior year ranked sixth in school history with 3,354 all-purpose yards. Walton will look to climb that list this season. And if can get 1,535 yards, he’ll pass Deuce McAllister as the school’s all-time leader.

Whether he breaks the record or not, Walton is a lock to lead the Rebels in all-purpose yards.

SWAT MASTER — MIKE HILTON

No returning starter on the Rebels defense broke up more passes than Hilton last year and will be among the team leaders in that area as well this season.

Most cornerbacks that excel at swatting balls away are bigger, physical types But at just 5-foot-9, 184 pounds, Hilton uses his skill and experience to help him make a play on the ball.

Hilton’s three interceptions last season are also the most amongst returning Ole Miss defenders and he will also contend for the lead in that category for the Rebels.
