OXFORD – A total of 11 Ole Miss players attended the NFL Combine last week in Indianapolis in anticipation of the 2025 NFL Draft, which begins April 24. The Rebels are coming off a 10-3 season – their third 10-win campaign in four years – and a 52-20 win over Duke in the Gator Bowl.
Four Rebels are projected to go in the first two rounds in ESPN analyst Jordan Reid’s latest mock draft – defensive linemen Walter Nolen (first round, 17th overall), quarterback Jaxson Dart (second round, 37th overall), wide receiver Tre Harris (second round, 53rd overall) and cornerback Trey Amos (second round, 57th overall).
Among the biggest winners at the NFL Combine was Dart, a first-team All-SEC selection in 2024 who participated in on-field workouts. According to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, Dart “solidified himself as a first-rounder during his week at the Senior Bowl. And last week at the combine, two teams strongly believed Dart would be taken in the top half of the opening round.”
