Treadwell was injured against the Auburn Tigers last season, fracturing his ankle. It was a nasty injury and one that will be tough to shake off. If Treadwell can be as productive as he was last season, it would help Ole Miss' cause in 2015.

The quarterback, who transferred from Clemson, has the physical abilities. However, he has been in trouble on campus and is a total wildcard for the 2015 season. He may be the key to how far Ole Miss can go in 2015.
