Ole Miss undrafted free agents tracker: Rebels who signed after 2024 NFL Draft

David Eckert, Mississippi Clarion Ledger

OXFORD ― The three players Ole Miss football sent to the combine this winter heard their names called in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Cornerback Deantre Prince was the first name off the board, landing with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the fifth round. Defensive end Cedric Johnson was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals a round later, with safety Daijahn Anthony joining him with the Bengals, who selected him in the seventh round.

There are still some talented former Rebels out there who contributed to the 2023 Peach Bowl team that won 11 games for the first time in Ole Miss history.

The most notable name on that list is Dayton Wade, who finished the season with 830 receiving yards to rank inside the SEC's top 10.

Here's a look at where Ole Miss' undrafted free agents are landing.
