Ole Miss continues to use transfer portal in landing DT JJ Pegues from Auburn

The Ole Miss coaching staff is wearing the transfer portal out, using it to revamp and reload a roster that just logged 10 wins and a Sugar Bowl appearance last season.

The latest addition to the Rebels is hometown star J.J. Pegues from Auburn. A converted defensive tackle standing at 6’3” and a swift-moving 310 lbs., Pegues played at Oxford High School as an offensive threat in the Chargers run to a 6A title.

He kicked off his freshman season in 2020 as a tight end, before making the move to defensive line during the 2021 season.
