WR Laquon Treadwell
Receiver / Secondary

Expect this Rebel passing attack to get better. Laquon Treadwell and tight end Evan Engram are quality pass catchers from a highly regarded 2013 recruiting class. Bo Wallace just needs to hone his passing skills. Led by AP All-American safety Cody Prewitt, Ole Miss is well equipped to handle the SEC's best passing offenses.

Offensive Line / Pass Rush

Recruiting has been good for fairly new head coach Hugh Freeze. Hopefully it can start to pay dividends with the offensive line as three full-time starters will move on. If coaches can secure this unit look for this team to continue making noise in the preseason expectation department. Despite having the gifted Nkemdiche brothers manning the perimeter of the defense, the pass rush is severely lagging (ranked 91st nationally). This aspect should see better fortunes in 2014.
