Athlon recently released their preseason 2017 All-American Team and Ole Miss football was represented by Chuck Mullins Courage Award winner Marquis Haynes. The third-team selection comes as a huge surprise for many Rebel fans. Not because he made the list but even more so by the fact he wasn’t listed higher.
At 6’3″ and 225 lbs Marquis Haynes is relentless as a pass rusher. His speed and quickness off the snap gives him a first-step advantage which is incomparable. He is by far the toughest defensive end in the nation to try to block.
