Ole Miss senior defensive back Trae Elston is this week’s Sports Illustrated cover boy, earning the right after Saturday’s emphatic win at second-ranked Alabama.

The Rebels jumped 12 spots and are tied at No. 3 with TCU in the Week 4 AP Top 25.

Elston has a team-best three interceptions this season, two of which were returned for touchdowns.

It’s the second time Ole Miss football has graced the SI cover in as many seasons, doing so last October alongside Mississippi State.
