Ole Miss Football 2026 NFL Draft Tracker: Multiple Rebels Remain on the Board

In this story:
The Ole Miss Rebels are well-represented in this year's NFL Draft with multiple players waiting to hear their names called on Day 3 across Rounds 4-7.
After Rebels wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling heard his name called with the first pick in the second round on Friday, the buzz surrounding Ole Miss reached new heights.
Stribling became the highest drafted wide receiver at Ole Miss since Laquon Treadwell went 23rd overall to the Minnesota Vikings in 2016, and this marks the second consecutive season that the 49ers have taken an Ole Miss wideout – joining Jordan Watkins, who was taken in the fifth round in 2025.
The Stribling Scouting Report:
“Long-striding, vertical-access wideout with steady play and production. Stribling has good size and early acceleration to climb over the top of coverage but lacks short-area quickness to gain separation underneath,” NFL analyst Lance Zierlen said of Stribling.
“His downfield ball skills are above average but he struggles to consistently carve out catch space and fight through contested-catch contact for tight-coverage wins. He has legit speed after the catch once he finds open grass. He’s also one of the most competitive run blockers in the WR class. Stribling projects as an immediate WR4 who could eventually work his way into a starting role.”
With the No. 33 overall pick in the 2026 @NFLDraft, the @49ers select De'Zhaun Stribling.
