Ole Miss Football will host Meet the Rebels Day on Saturday, April 25, in the Olivia and Archie Manning Athletics Performance Center. The event will be free to enter and will last from 9:30-11:30 a.m.
Ole Miss fans will have the chance to meet players and coaches. Players will autograph one item per fan.
“I think it’s cool that you can talk to the players and get to know them a little bit,” Derrenee Coleman, a freshman psychology major, said. “You only see them from far away on the field, so getting to actually speak to them face to face would be cool.”
Attendees can enter the Manning Center from the gate at the south end of the facility. The Tad Smith Coliseum parking lots and the parking garage attached to The Sandy and John Black Pavilion will be open for attendee parking.
Once inside the facility, defensive backs and special teams players will be on the front right side of the field; wide receivers, tight ends and running backs will be on the front left; linebackers and defensive linemen will be on the back right; quarterbacks and offensive linemen will be on the back left.
“I feel like it would be an interesting experience, especially considering some of them are becoming big names, like Trinidad Chambliss. All of them are becoming huge,” Kara Stateson, a freshman allied health major, said.
At the 50-yard line, fans can get pictures with trophies, including those the Rebels won in 2025-26 in the Egg Bowl, the Magnolia Bowl and the Sugar Bowl.
The Ole Miss Radio Network and the Voice of the Rebels David Kellum will host a Q&A session with head coach Pete Golding, other coaches and Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter. The program will begin at 10 a.m. on a stage in the north end zone.
Jerseys will be sold on the left side of the south end zone, and a food vendor will be on the right side. Fans can purchase posters at the 5-yard line and Ole Miss Authentics merchandise at the 20.
The Grove Collective will provide fans with detailed information and VIP opportunities leading up to Saturday.
Oxford’s annual Double Decker Arts Festival will also be held on the Oxford Square this weekend. Game one of the Rebel’s baseball series against Georgia at Swayze Field will start at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Game two will begin 50 minutes after game one.
Ole Miss Football suspended Meet the Rebels Day during the COVID-19 pandemic. After a five-year hiatus, the event resumed last offseason.
The Rebels began spring drills on March 27. There will not be a spring game this year.
