The Ole Miss Rebels are one-third of the way through their 2014 season, and they’ve made it this far with an unblemished 4-0 record.

The Rebels have received significant contributions from their 2013 recruiting class, which continues to improve and develop with each game. Wideout Laquon Treadwell had a huge performance in the Rebels’ game against Memphis, as did a number of sophomore’s on the Ole Miss defense.

Here’s a rundown of how some of Ole Miss’ 2013 recruits fared last weekend against the Tigers:

  • Quincy Adeboyejo: Adeboyejo had been a consistent contributor in a deep group of Ole Miss wideouts, but he failed to record a catch for the first time all year in the win over Memphis. Adeboyejo has 11 catches for 121 yards and a touchdown so far this season, but his numbers will likely continue to fluctuate as he shares time with a number of other tremendous wideouts including Treadwell, Vince Sanders and Cody Core.
  • Tony Conner: Conner was a stud in the win over Memphis, finishing second on the team with seven tackles and tying for the team lead with 2 tackles for loss. He was aggressive in stopping the run, as Memphis averaged less than a yard per carry on 22 attempts for the game, and held his own in pass coverage as well. He also recorded one quarterback hurry to aid a pass rush that recorded four sacks for the game.
  • Mark Dodson: Dodson carried the ball five times for 16 yards against the Tigers, which comes on the heels of a five carry-11 yard output against UL Lafayette three weeks ago (Ole Miss had a bye between ULL and Memphis). Dodson began the year with 47 yards and a touchdown in his first two games, but has seen his touches drop in Ole Miss’ last two games among a crowded stable of tailbacks. The Rebels had one of their best rushing performances of the year against the Tigers, but it remains a glaring weakness on an otherwise dynamic offense.
  • Evan Engram: Engram caught a pass on the first play of the game to get the Ole Miss offense rolling, but then caught just two more balls the entire rest of the game. Many thought he’d play a larger role in the Rebels’ offense against Memphis, and catching a pass on the first play from scrimmage furthered that assumption. However, the Tigers did a good job of eliminating him from the passing game, although other Ole Miss wideouts were able to pick up the slack.
  • Robert Nkemdiche: The former top recruit in the nation was surprisingly quiet in a dominant defensive performance by Ole Miss, recording just one tackle for the game without a sack, tackle for loss, quarterback hurry, pass defended, nothing at all. Just the one tackle. He made an impact collapsing the pocket up the middle from his defensive tackle position, but statistically-speaking he had one of his worst performance as a collegiate. Nevertheless, Ole Miss suffocated the Memphis offense all game, and Nkemdiche is likely to remain a factor on the defense the rest of the season.
  • Laquon Treadwell: Treadwell had perhaps his best game of the season in an electrifying performance against Memphis. He caught five passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns, marking his second 100-yard game of the season (he also broke 100 yards in Week 1 against Boise State). He beat the Tigers defense down the field and was wide open following a brilliant play-action fake by quarterback Bo Wallace in the first quarter, and Wallace was on the money with a 63-yard touchdown strike to Treadwell to open the scoring. Treadwell also caught a 17-yard touchdown from Wallace late in the game to cement a Rebels victory.
  • Laremy Tunsil: Tunsil anchored the offensive line from his left tackle position, and was stellar in pass protection all game long against a feisty Memphis defense. Ole Miss allowed just one sack all game, but it remains shaky in the run game, allowing 7 tackles for loss. Tunsil and the rest of the o-line must improve as run blockers against some nasty defenses in the SEC West if Ole Miss is to have a chance at a 10-win season.
