Ole Miss social media started buzzing on Thursday as the football program began to roll out players who would be staying in Oxford for next season.
The “Staying Home” graphic announced the intentions for
several big names, and the Cup will continue to update this list as more names come out on X/Twitter. With every starter, there is some significant momentum into the 2026 season after this year’s team went 11-1 for the first time in program history.
Here’s who is officially coming back so far.
- DT Will Echoles
- OL Brycen Sanders
- LB Suntarine Perkins
- CB Antonio Kite
So the three defensive names of Echoles, Perkins and Kite are really big pieces to the puzzle, a lot of experience and talent for next season. Sanders has been a fixture on the offensive line all year and should be a key piece as well. This is the Grove Collective and NIL at work in real time right now.
There’s obviously some big names still out there, and this social media push has just started. Continue to check back in here for more updates. Cheers!
