Royce Newman brings veteran versatility and blue-collar power to the Rebels' front
Royce Newman was a four-year Ole Miss offensive lineman who started 22 straight games and, in the 2020 season, allowed just two sacks in 430 pass-block snaps while earning a 78.0 grade in the bowl win over Indiana. He stands out for his smart, low-and-strong style, reliable hand placement, and ability to play both guard and tackle—traits that made him a Senior Bowl selection and a fourth-round NFL Draft pick in 2021. If you value steadiness, toughness, and positional flexibility, he’s a sneaky-good fit.
