Johnson originally committed to the Rebels in July, and holds just one other offer from Mississippi State.

Ole Miss Football: Engram Is One of the Greatest Rebels of All-Time

The 2016 Ole Miss Rebels football season has come to an end. So has the career of Rebel all-time great tight end, Evan Engram.

Many Ole Miss fans had a sinking feeling in their stomach when they saw Evan Engram come out prior to the Egg Bowl with no pads on. It was the feeling that the day would not end well. All because one of the greatest players to put on the Rebel uniform was going to be out.

Engram being called one of the greatest is not hyperbole. I know we tend to get taken in by what is new. We sometime conveniently forget to recognize the past. However this is not the case here. Engram has the resume to prove the point.

Of course, there are a few names floating around that have ties to Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze.Since the retirement of Ole Miss defensive coordinator Dave Wommack was announced last Saturday, the Rebels have been hard at work to find his replacement.
