Braden Waterman is Ole Miss’s comeback-story QB with size, leadership, and resilience
Waterman is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound Ole Miss quarterback whose value goes well beyond box scores: he has not appeared in game action for the Rebels through the 2024 season, but his background features a 3,027-yard, 41-touchdown high school career, academic honors in 2024, and an especially compelling comeback from Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The differentiator here is toughness—he’s been through major adversity, stayed connected to the program, and brings a steady, earned-its-way-in profile that fits a depth-chart or culture-building role more than a stat-sheet headline.
