Ole Miss is betting on a revamped offensive line that could become one of the most potent units in the SEC this fall.
The unit returns core pieces from a 13‑2 season that saw the Rebels climb to No. 2 in total offense and punch their ticket to the College Football Playoff.
Among the holdovers, center Brycen Sanders will anchor the interior, while Patrick Kutas, the 2023 Kent Hull Trophy winner, brings a near‑perfect pass‑protection record — just one sack and two quarterback hits over 804 snaps.
Adding depth, Maryland transfer Terez Davis arrives with a freshman standout pedigree, and Carius Curne, a top‑rated tackle from the transfer portal, is expected to shore up the edge.
Head coach Pete Golding, best known for his defensive schematics, now faces the challenge of safeguarding a line that has already helped produce a Doak Walker Award finalist and a Maxwell Award semifinalist.
The Chemistry Factor
The biggest question mark is how quickly the new tackles mesh with Sanders and Kutas. Early practices suggest the interior trio is already clicking, but chemistry along the edges will be tested as the season progresses.
If the line clicks, Ole Miss could once again dominate the conference and perhaps push for another playoff appearance, making the 2025 campaign one of the most anticipated in recent memory.
