Nebraska Cornhuskers, LSU Tigers Transfers Set to Contribute for Ole Miss Football

"We move around a lot," Womack said. "[Pete Golding] is the best in the game right now, and he can move you all over the field so you can rush the passer. [Golding] is very fun because he buys into everything we do.

"He's always on the field right there screaming at us. He's calling the plays on the field. He's running up and down the sideline with us as we celebrate and stuff."

It'll be a new scheme in Oxford for Womack, but the adjustment has been smooth for the first-year Rebel as he gears up for the upcoming season.

"I'm adapting very well to a new playbook or whatever," Womack said. "Just getting a new install every day, learning the playbook, learn my job and the guys next to me, their jobs to really know what's going on in defense and just dominating every day."

For Ryan, he's carving out a new path in the secondary with Ole Miss after making the move from Baton Rouge to Oxford.

"What brought me to Ole Miss is the family-oriented program. I knew I could come here and be the best me," Ryan said. "Pete Golding himself sold me. I know it's an NFL defense that he runs and that would prepare me for the next level."

Across four seasons in Baton Rouge, Ryan logged 114 tackles, including 6.5 for a loss, with five forced fumbles, 13 pass breakups and one interception.

Ryan is plenty familiar with the SEC, as well as Ole Miss, where he has been in the starting lineup for four consecutive years in games against the Rebels.

Across the offseason, Ryan's experience hasn't been much different—he's still lining up against Ole Miss receivers, now he's just doing it wearing red and blue.

"It is kind of weird. I was talking to one of my buddies about that the other day. Last year going against Cayden Lee, but now I'm going against him but I'm on the same team," Ryan said.

"It's been a smooth journey for me. I don't really think about it like that, I'm just a part of Ole Miss now."

No. 2: Nebraska Cornhusker Transfer - Princewill Umanmielen

The Nebraska Cornhuskers transfer made his way to the Magnolia State this offseason where he's quickly carving out a role within the defense.

Over his two years at Nebraska, Umanmielen registered 35 total tackles, seven tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

Heading into the 2025 season, the veteran will look to help the Rebels recover from the loss of his brother [Princely Umanmielen] to the professional ranks this offseason.

“We’re just taking it game by game and trying to go 1-0, attacking the day,” Umanmielen said this offseason. “Just taking it day by day. Stack days. Got to win every day. Can’t take days off because it’s going to come back and bite me in the a**."
