Is Deion Smith the Next Big Star for Ole Miss?

As the highly anticipated 2024-2025 college football season approaches, rosters are being finalized after a bustling transfer portal period. While many focus on high-profile transfers, junior college standouts like Deion Smith are often overlooked. However, Smith is making significant waves within the Ole Miss community.


Deion Smith is set to join an already impressive receiving room, featuring returning stars like Tre Harris and Jordan Watkins, and the addition of Juice Wells. Despite this strong lineup, many speculate that Smith could be the best of the group.





A standout from Mississippi, Smith was the top player in the state in the Class of 2021. He began his college career at LSU, where he showed flashes of brilliance but was hindered by early injuries. After an attempt to transfer to Ole Miss was thwarted by academic issues, Smith found success at Holmes Community College, recording 48 receptions for 1,063 yards and 12 touchdowns in one season (247 Sports).


Now, with academic hurdles cleared, Smith is poised to make a substantial impact at Ole Miss. His combination of size, speed, and skill suggests he has All-American potential. As fall camp approaches, Smith is a name to watch, with the potential to elevate the Rebels' offense and become a breakout star in college football.


Deion Smith's journey from LSU to Holmes Community College and now to Ole Miss highlights his resilience and talent. If he continues on this trajectory, he could be a crucial player for the Rebels and a standout in the upcoming season. Keep an eye on Smith as he aims to fulfill his immense potential and make a name for himself on the national stage.
