Ole Miss is widely-regarded as one of the favorites to make the CFP next season. The Rebels have had a phenomenal offseason so far, particularly in the transfer portal.
Ole Miss has signed impact transfers such as Walter Nolen, Princely Umanmielen and Chris Paul Jr., amongst others. Overall, the Rebels’ transfer class ranks No. 1 nationally, per 247Sports Composite rankings.
Ole Miss also retains several key starters from a team that won a school-record 11 games in 2023. Quarterback Jaxson Dart will try to lead Ole Miss to back-to-back double-digit win seasons next year for the first time since 1959-60.
The Rebels will be hoping to make the CFP for the first time in program history in 2024.
