Freshman DT Jayden Curtis brings SEC-ready size and in-state upside to Ole Miss
In the 2026 season, Jayden Curtis arrives at Ole Miss as a 6-4, 285-pound freshman defensive tackle with early-enrollee spring practice experience, which is a great sign for readiness and development. He was a unanimous three-star prospect and a top-100 defensive lineman nationally, but the real appeal is his production and disruption in high school: 147 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 9 sacks, and a forced fumble across three varsity seasons. He also comes from an Ole Miss family legacy, and the Rebels like his physical frame, interior juice, and long-term ceiling.
