CHICAGO – Ole Miss football linebackers TJ Dottery and Andrew Jones have both landed on the preseason watch list for the Butkus Award, as announced by the Butkus Foundation on Wednesday.
Lane Liffin and the Ole Miss Rebels have arrived in Atlanta (Ga.) for SEC Media Days with TJ Dottery one of three players in the Peach State to represent the program.
As Ole Miss caps off its 2024 season in Jacksonville, Fla., against Duke, linebacker TJ Dottery has some unfinished business to attend to. Teams are never the same after a season.
Linebacker TJ Dottery has not been an Ole Miss Rebel for very long, but he has made a strong impact in his two seasons with the program. The redshirt sophomore transferred to Ole Miss from Clemson prior to the 2023 season, but he had to sit out the regular season due to NCAA rules.
The No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels are still in "win-or-go-home" mode when it comes to the College Football Playoff conversation, and they will have a challenging test on Saturday when they face freshman quarterback DJ Lagway of the Florida Gators.
The No. 19 Ole Miss Rebels need a win on Saturday to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive, but standing in the way of that goal are the Arkansas Razorbacks and a talented quarterback in Taylen Green.
