Ole Miss offensive line coach John Garrison needs to address offensive line woes.
Adding three starters with tons of experience will help. Ole Miss is expecting Jayden Williams and Diego Pounds to return. The center position is up for grabs and Brycen Sanders seems poised to take a big step.
Townsend is someone who can come in and provide immediate depth and push the returning players. He is a mammoth recruit who should help with the Rebels’ short yardage run game issues.
