Jadon Canady is a talented prospect who would bring a lot of experience and elite speed to a back end which will be tested in 2023.
ESPN ranked the toughest Power 5 schedules for the fall and the Rebels are in the top spot.
“The Rebels have two decent non-conference matchups with Mercer to open their schedule and then UL Monroe in the second to last week. However, nothing else in between is a cakewalk. It starts with a game at Tulane, who went 12-2 last season, and a matchup at home Georgia Tech. From there, they’ll get their usual SEC West slate while also hosting Vanderbilt and having to go to Athens to play Georgia.”
