## Resource

Will Echoles is stepping into a leadership role for Ole Miss in 2026, already being hailed as a top defensive tackle and potential first-round NFL Draft pick. The 6’3”, 315-pound standout, who started every game last season, is setting lofty goals to lead the SEC in tackles for loss and sacks while aiming for the Outland Trophy. With the Rebels rebuilding their run defense and adding depth via the transfer portal, Echoles believes the team has the talent to rise — and he’s ready to lead the charge from the front when they open the season against Louisville on September 6.
