He also gave shoutouts to Dayton Wade, JJ Henry, Jonathan Mingo and Malik Heath when asked to identify other swiss army knife-type players. The more you can do, the more value you bring, and Watkins is one of several receivers bringing great value to the room. I think that separates me from a lot of people.' If you need me to go play tight end, I'll go play tight end. You need me to go to the backfield, I'll play running back. I think that's what sets me apart from a lot of other people is I can play anywhere you need me to. At practice, I've been everywhere a little bit.

'I said it before coming out of high school, I think of myself as a swiss army knife a little bit, somebody who can do everything-play outside, play slot. In a crowded room, the dynamic junior is relying on his versatility in his fight for playing time. Jordan Watkins is one of those five Division I transfers, joining the Rebels from Louisville after finishing second among Cardinal receivers with 529 yards a year ago. With such a deep group, roles in the receiver room are still to be determined, and at this point, they might be up in the air more than any other position. Ole Miss has 19 wide receivers on its roster as fall camp comes to a close, including five new Division I transfers. I have two great quarterbacks and can't wait to see which one wins the job.'

I can't wait to see who's going to win the spot,' Prince said. After going through fall camp defending pass after pass from both Luke Altmyer and Jaxson Dart, even Prince can't make the call. The junior out of Charleston, Mississippi, intercepted two passes a season ago, and he has spent this fall doing the same, much to the chagrin of his quarterbacks. Prince has certainly shown some Mathieu- and Peterson-esque playmaking ability. 'I just wanted to be something like those guys and have a part of them on me while I'm representing Ole Miss.' Back when I was younger, when he was at LSU, Tyrann Mathieu was the one I looked up to the most, and Patrick Peterson also,' Prince said. 'Mainly, it was me having a person that's a role model to me who was No. As Prince competes in the coming weeks, he'll do so carrying with him the number of some of his favorite playmakers growing up. The Rebel cornerback made the swap from No. I think it's going to be a fun year for us.'ĭeantre Prince will also take the field this season sporting a new number.

The junior out of Mobile, Alabama, has long been the presumptive heir to Williams' throne on the defensive front, even before Williams played his last collegiate snap. Sam last year, he had a big year after he switched, so I'm looking forward to doing the same thing.' 2 for the longest time, so I say that number is from him,' Johnson said. 7, and he followed it up with one of the best individual seasons by a defensive lineman in program history. Sam Williams made a similar switch around this time last year, going from No. 2, securing an always-coveted single-digit number. No, the Rebels haven't added another transfer into the fold-just a simple number change for their top pass rusher, Cedric Johnson.
