**OXFORD, MS** – The Ole Miss Rebels made a significant splash in the 2025 NFL Draft, shattering program records with four players selected in the first two rounds. This surpasses the previous record of three first-round picks set in 2016.
The first Rebel off the board was defensive tackle Walter Nolen, chosen 16th overall by the Arizona Cardinals. He was quickly followed by quarterback Jaxson Dart, who was selected 25th overall by the New York Giants after a trade-up. Dart’s selection came ahead of highly touted prospect Shedeur Sanders.
Adding to Ole Miss’ impressive showing, wide receiver Tre Harris was drafted in the second round (55th overall) by the Los Angeles Chargers, despite battling injuries during the 2024 season. Harris still managed a team-high 1,030 receiving yards in just eight games. The second-round selections continued with cornerback Trey Amos, picked 61st overall by the Washington Commanders. Amos, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound veteran, impressed with 50 tackles and three interceptions in 2024.
Other Ole Miss players, including edge rusher Princely Umanmielen and defensive lineman JJ Pegues, are expected to be drafted in later rounds. This record-breaking draft performance showcases the strength of the Ole Miss football program and promises continued success in the years to come.
