steady, physical, and a proven SEC tackling machine for Ole Miss
In the 2010 season, Jonathan Cornell was Ole Miss’s defensive anchor at linebacker, leading the Rebels with 79 tackles and adding 8 tackles for loss, while also forcing a fumble and breaking up passes[10][14]. He was praised as a smart, steady leader with a high motor and real disruptive ability, including a career-high 3.0 sacks and 11 tackles in a standout game that season[8]. For a team wanting an instinctive middle linebacker who brings toughness, production, and on-field calm, Cornell checked the box.
