Summary
In this edition of Talk of Champions, Ben Garrett and Zach Berry of the Ole Miss Spirit/On3 time-travel to 2016 to reminisce about the highest-ranked recruiting class in Ole Miss football history.
AJ Brown is the greatest Ole Miss Rebel ever. And only partly because of his record-breaking playing career.
Plus, the guys touch briefly on the recruitment of 2024 four-star and in-state wide receiver Braylon Burnside, who, this week, committed to rival Mississippi State. This podcast was recorded before that commitment.
