Mississippi Rebels:
Depth Chart | Roster
QB - Trinidad Chambliss #6
Chambliss will be a 25-year old rookie with two seasons at the FBS level after a four-year career at Ferris State. A dynamic, but undersized athlete who can win from the pocket but makes his loudest impact on the move off-schedule. Has a high level of escapability because of athleticism, but also power and balance. His improvement on traditional dropbacks and throwing over the middle has put him in to a day two discussion, but there are credible concerns when projecting him beyond a backup role.
RB - Kewan Lacy #5
A very uncommon combination of elite speed with constant big play potential paired with a workhorse style. Led the nation in carries in 2025 by a wide margin. Puts his foot in the ground when he sees it and it is off to the races. Will absorb big hits and stay on his feet, showing both toughness and contact balance. Excellent footwork and feel but will need to prove he can run with better pad level and consistently fall forward between the tackles.
WR - Deuce Alexander #1
There are fast receivers, and there is a different tier of select few which is where Alexander resides. Smooth but explosive acceleration is coupled with balanced ball tracking and coordination. Light mover in and out of breaks with very little lost speed when he changes direction. Also helps the offense as a rusher and will be able to return punts.
DT - Will Echoles #52
Physical presence inside with power and quickness. Solid knee bend and active hands to hold the point. Quick attacking gaps getting penetration and disrupting blocking schemes. Makes a lot of plays inline. Collapse the pocket pass rusher who has been productive getting sacks, pressures and deflections. Tends to play tall as the game wears on and lacks pursuit speed.
DE - Kam Franklin #5
Listed as a defensive end, Franklin does his best work in a 4i or a 3 technique. Power player who can knock back offensive tackles with a quick punch and extension. Adept at setting a hard edge from a 5 alignment. Makes a lot of plays inline. Power rusher with little bend around the corner. Could have a future as a 3-4 end who can kick inside in the nickel.
LB - Suntarine Perkins #4
Plays the Buck linebacker in the Ole Miss scheme and is an incredible athlete with sudden change of direction and acceleration in pursuit. Aligns primarily on the edge in a two point stance. Has been a productive speed to power pass rusher with snap quickness and active hands. Lacks the bulk to play on the NFL edge and is projected as an off-the ball Will linebacker.

Depth Chart | Roster
QB - Austin Simmons #13
A little extra coming from the Simmons camp in this one, as the former Rebel transferred to Missouri this past offseason. A southpaw with notable arm talent that displays both power and accuracy to all three levels. A strong, sturdy frame helps him against pressure and contact in the pocket where he has been on a rapid ascension in his first year as a starter.
RB - Jamal Roberts #20
With Ahmad Hardy still not back after suffering a gunshot wound this past offseason, Roberts has risen to the occasion, currently sitting number two in the country in rushing. Thick and strong below the waist, capable of breaking through initial contact with balance and vision. Does not waste time behind the line of scrimmage and will pick up what the defense gives and more.
OT - Cayden Green #70
Green is a second-year tackle who made the move from guard prior to the 2025 season. Has not allowed a QB hit yet in 2026. Massive road grader who can create movement in the run game with firm core strength and a finishing punch capable of putting linemen on their backs. Absorbs the bull rush without a loss of position of balance, but must prove he can adjust his weight against quickness.
LB - Robert Woodyard Jr. #0
Woodyard is an athletic, high motor linebacker who plays well in space and flashes a versatile skill set. Aligns either in the box or on the edge and is at his best chasing from perimeter to perimeter. He has cover skill and flashes ability in underneath zone coverage. That said there’s some inconsistency as he will get out of position in coverage and his downhill run fits can be off.
DT - Marquis Gracial #3
Gracial is a run stuffing nose tackle with ideal size for the interior. He patiently stayed at Missouri, receiving little playing time until last year where he flashed promise as a rotational player. This year he’s the starter on the nose and is a key part of the Tigers’ rotation. Solid playing the run, he can erase both A gaps. Will play upright at times and provides little pass rush.
LB - Nicholas Rodriguez #5
Rodriguez received little playing time his first two years, but fit into a rotation in 2025. This year he’s the full-time Will and struggled early in the season with run fits and angles in pursuit. As the season wears on he’s playing at a much higher level, showing athleticism and sideline to sideline chase skill. Slightly undersized he has the tools of a three down off the ball linebacker.
