Drummond

A junior college transfer, Drummond (6'1/215) spent three years at Ole Miss, breaking out with a 76-1,028-8 line in 2021. He has good size, and he uses that frame and strong hands to make players underneath the coverage and create yards after the catch. Unfortunately, his 4.65 40 matches his tape, and he will struggle to threaten NFL corners deep. His path to playing time will likely come as a big option in the slot.

Last night Drummond (6'0/215) was able to get over 100 receiving yards in a game where Ole Miss struggled on offense. Drummond had a breakout 2021 season where he caught for over 1,000 yards and in fact, doubled his career number from the previous two seasons. He really showed his size and speed this season could translate to pro level. He should be one of the top 10 receivers taken in April.

On a day where the Rebels struggled on offense, Drummond (6'0/215) was the bright spot. He was the go-to receiver for Altmyer. Drummond was the only receiver on the day with more than two receptions for the Rebels. Drummond excelled in the short game, catching the ball in space and gaining yards after the catch. His performance on Saturday put Drummond over the 1,000-yard mark on the season, as he finished the year with 1,028 yards and eight touchdowns.

After not having a 100-yard receiving game since week two, Drummond (6'0/215) collected his third on the season. He caught over 50 percent of Corral’s attempts and was the most reliable weapon in Starkville. His biggest play on the day came in the third quarter. He took a pass in the flat off of jet motion and took it down the left sideline for 31 yards to set up a touchdown for the Rebels. Having amassed ten wins on the season, they will look to see how things shape up next week during championship weekend in regards to their bowl game.

Drummond (6'0/215) suffered the injury during the Rebels’ October 30 game against Auburn, and was held out of last weekend’s win over Liberty. The senior taking part in pregame warmups is a positive sign, but there are no guarantees with regard to his availability and reps.

Drummond (6'0/215) limped off the field last week against Auburn with the undisclosed injury and didn’t return. He and fellow starting WR Jonathan Mingo will both miss this game.

Drummond (6'0/215) was holding the back of his leg while limping off the field during the first half of Saturday’s game. If it was indeed the senior wide receiver’s hamstring, those can be tricky injuries to deal with as far as a timeline for return is concerned. Drummond is considered to be questionable to return Saturday, so there’s a chance that he’ll be back on the field before the game ends.

Drummond (6'0/215) has been a revelation for the high-powered Ole Miss offense, catching 21-of-27 targets for 344 yards, 16.4 yards per catch and four touchdowns. What makes his yards after catch total even more impressive is that Ole Miss is coming off a bye, so Drummond amassed his 219 yards in only three games. His 87.7 receiving grade ranks seventh in the nation among receivers who have 10 receptions or more, as the senior slot receiver has taken over the role vacated by Elijah Moore. The Rebels will need Drummond to be at his best if they are going to upset Alabama this Saturday.

Drummond (6'0/215) had a pretty lackluster college career. In two years with the Rebels, he caught 32 passes for 495 yards and six touchdowns prior to the bowl game. He did prove himself a bit of a red zone savant this year, but for the most part, Drummond was not a star for the Rebels. Drummond went out with a bang to his college career against Indiana. For the first time in his two seasons at Ole Miss, Drummond eclipsed 100 yards. This was also his fifth game in a row with a touchdown.
