Pair of Ole Miss Rebels star players earn Midseason All-American honors from Reese's Senior Bowl

As if the world needed any more evidence that Lane Kiffin was truly the Portal King. The Ole Miss Rebels are putting together an incredible season, thanks much in part to Kiffin's incredible ability to land some of the most high impact transfer stars in all of college football. And two of those transfer players just earned Midseason All-American status via the Reese's Senior Bowl.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Senior Bowl, it is the most prestigious college football all star game in existence. Once the college football season ends you may often hear the patented phrase, "The Draft Start in Mobile", because for many NFL Draft prospects their first run in with dozens (if not hundreds) of NFL staffers happens in Mobile, Alabama at the Senior Bowl every spring. Garnering the attention of the scouts at the Senior Bowl is a huge deal.

Ole Miss fans shouldn't be surprised to hear that the two Midseason All-Americans for the Rebels according to the Senior Bowl are wide receiver Tre Harris and defensive tackle Walter Nolen.

Tre Harris, of course, leads all wide receivers in the nation with 885 yards through just six games this season. And that's with him struggling through injury in a couple contests already. Walter Nolen already has 16 pass rush pressures on the year, three sacks, and exactly zero tackles missed according to multiple professional charting services.

Harris dominated LSU with eight receptions for 153 yards and a score last season, and he looks primed to do that again this weekend if he does indeed play (currently questionable via Ole Miss injury report).

Harris has gotten a lot more of the glory this year as an offensive skill position player, but Walter Nolen deserves plenty of credit himself. Why? Just check out his absurd strength demonstrated on this play against Wake Forest earlier this season. Nolen essentially throws the left tackle at the running back, then finishes in the backfield.

Nolen has the strength to throw around any offensive lineman in the nation in run defense, the speed to close in pursuit, and the flexibility with win in pass rush situations from any pre-snap alignment. Harris might be elite at wide receiver, but Nolen could be even better compared to his fellow defensive tackle prospects.

Both players should continue their dominance all season long for Ole Miss. And both players likely wind up in Mobile next spring competing against the best NFL Draft prospects at the Reese's Senior Bowl.
