Ole Miss culminates spring practice with the Grove Bowl on Saturday.

Here are 5 main storylines to follow as Lane Kiffin gears up for his 2nd season.

What do the quarterbacks behind Matt Corral look like?

True freshman Luke Altmeyer enrolled in January to get a head start and sophomore Kinkead Dent has made strides with the opportunity afforded to him with John Rhys Plumlee playing baseball. Plumlee’s future remains uncertain. Will his Outback Bowl switch to receiver become permanent? Kiffin said last month that he and Plumlee would discuss that this summer. Regardless of how that shakes out, it’s hard to believe Plumlee’s skill-set won’t be used in other ways this fall, and having a capable quarterback is an effective insurance policy at the very least.

Who starts on the defensive line for each side?

Of course, you’re going to get somewhat of a split look at what a starting defensive line may look like no matter how each roster is constructed, but what does each line look like and who stands out? Most observations from a spring game should be taken with a grain of salt, but this unit is by far Ole Miss’ biggest question mark on defense. What do the pair of junior college transfers, Isaiah Iton and Jamond Gordon, look like in Chris Partridge and D.J. Durkin’s scheme? It will be a glimpse at best, but any peek at what the defensive line may look like will be an intriguing piece of this spring game?

Who is kicking field goals … and are they going in?

It sounds silly, but field-goal kicking crushed Ole Miss last year, not just leaving points on the field. It affected the way Kiffin and Jeff Lebby called the offense, forcing them to be hyper-aggressive. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. Luke Logan was just 6-of-10 on the year and made 1 kick beyond 30 yards. He has graduated; Cale Nation and Land Gebhart are the only kickers on the roster. A talented freshman and 3-star recruit in Caden Costa will join the program in the fall. It remains to be seen how this battle shakes out, but seeing the ball go through uprights more frequently on Saturday than it did in the fall of 2020 would be a step in the right direction for the Rebels.

Does anyone stand out at receiver?

Remember the 2019 spring game? Ole Miss needed to replace DK Metcalf, AJ Brown and DaMarkus Lodge. Elijah Moore, a solid but complementary option in 2018, shined in the 2019 spring game. It was abundantly clear from that point on that Moore was going to be a major factor in the offense the following fall. He had 67 catches, more than the other Rebels’ receivers had combined. Now the Rebels hope history repeats as they replace Moore.

Touted freshmen Braylon Brown and J.J. Henry arrive this summer, but is there a receiver who sticks out in Saturday’s scrimmage? Jonathan Mingo would be a likely candidate, as would Dontario Drummond or Dannis Jackson and Jadon Jackson. Marc Britt is an early-enrollee to watch.

We are still a long way from Ole Miss having to have some semblance of a go-to guy that Corral can trust, but one of these names standing out on Saturday would be a good starting point.

Who sees snaps at offensive tackle?

Ole Miss returns 4 of its 5 starting linemen but must replace Royce Newman at right tackle. The easiest solution would seem to be Eli Acker sliding in at right tackle and all else remains the same. Reece McIntyre and Caleb Warren are options at either guard position if the staff thinks they can slide Jalen Cunningham or Jeremy James to the outside. But I imagine they’ll try a number of guys at tackle to get a glimpse of what they can do in pseudo-game action. You won’t know anything definite on the line after this scrimmage, but you might have a better idea of who is capable of playing where.
