No. 21 Ole Miss will debut a reconstructed roster on Saturday night at Vaught Hemingway Stadium in the program's season opener against the Georgia State Panthers.

After adding a myriad of newcomers via the NCAA Transfer Portal, Lane Kiffin and Co. will take the field in Week 1 with multiple fresh faces preparing to make an immediate impact.

Ole Miss navigated a four-week Fall Camp stretch with the program seeing a slew of newcomers carve out roles on both sides of the ball.

Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Austin Simmons will earn his first start on Saturday night where he'll be passing the ball to a redesigned receiving corps.

Aside from returning weapon Cayden Lee, Ole Miss will be slinging the ball to a myriad of transfer additions - including De'Zhaun Stribling [Oklahoma State], Harrison Wallace III [Penn State], Caleb Odom [Alabama] and Deuce Alexander [Wake Forest], among others.

Now, the depth chart has been revealed for Week 1 with Ole Miss releasing the starters ahead of the season opener against the Georgia State Panthers.
