Ben has compiled a list for you.
https://247sports.com/college/ole-miss/Board/103605/Contents/Latest-on-transfers-111944103
Deontay Anderson ? Confirmed, transferring. He?ll visit Michigan this weekend. (Mars)
Van Jefferson ? Confirmed, transferring. He?ll visit Michigan this weekend. (Mars)
Shea Patterson ? All but confirmed, transferring. Hay?s in the barn. He?ll visit Michigan this weekend. Memphis and LSU, among others, have reached out, too.
Tre Nixon ? Confirmed, transferring. I heard UCF as an early possibility. He?ll have plenty of interest. (Mars)
Jarrion Street ? Confirmed, transferring. Once more, for emphasis: Ole Miss did not fight to keep him, unlike three of the previous four on this list. Georgia State has reached out. I?ve heard one or two more. (Mars)
Cam Ordway ? Haven?t heard much, if anything, on Ordway. As of now, he?s still a part of the team. One to watch, though.
Gabe Angel ? Staying.
Jacob Mathis ? The latest I heard was he was staying. But like Ordway, I just don?t have enough information right now to properly project his status.
Breon Dixon ? Confirmed, transferring. Another player Ole Miss did not fight to keep.
Tony Gray ? Last I heard, he wanted to stay. However, put him in the Ordway/Mathis category for now. I just don?t have enough on him.
D.K. Buford ? Put him in the Ordway/Mathis/Gray category for now. Ole Miss would like to keep him. It?s only about playing time for Buford.
Jalen Julius ? Confirmed, leaving. Unlike most all the others, though, his is strictly for family reasons.
A common misconception over the last few weeks regarding transfers is the more Ole Miss loses or pushes out, the more scholarships Ole Miss will have for the 2018 roster. Here?s the bottom line: Ole Miss could afford to lose eight players to transfer without the roster taking a real hit. Seven have officially announced their intentions to transfer, so borderline guys who Ole Miss, perhaps, initially looked to find another home for, the Rebels are working to keep. Ole Miss is limited to signing a maximum of 21 players in the 2018 recruiting class. The overall roster number is capped at 81. For every player that leaves after No. 8, subtract one from the overall 81.
Also, I didn't list Greg Little as a transfer possibility because in all my conversations with sources on the subject, I was told over and over Little wasn?t going anywhere. Now, obviously anything can happen, but Little came out on Twitter Thursday to confirm he was staying, which is in line with the word I?ve gotten on him for the last week. He?s a linchpin, of sorts, for the roster. Jaylon Jones and Mathis are guys who are/were paying attention to what Little is doing.
The only other name, for now, that I can think to tell you to keep an eye on is Myles Hartsfield. His parents are Ole Miss people and have been positive in their feedback to the Rebels. But still, one to watch.
