Offensive lineman Quincy McGee has played his final snaps for the Ole Miss Rebels and head coach Lane Kiffin. On Thursday, McGee revealed from his social media account that he would be forgoing the rest of his college eligibility and declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft.

McGee made his announcement with this message attached to the Ole Miss program and fan base.

“First, I want to give my thanks to God for giving me the ability to play the game I love. Next, I want to thank the Ole Miss community and also the UAB community for giving me a chance to play at the next level. I will forever cherish all the relationships I made along the way. Lastly, I want to thank my family for being here every step of the way. I can never thank y’all enough for the unconditional love and support along my journey.”

“With that being said, it’s GO time. I will officially be entering my name into the 2024 NFL Draft. This has been a dream of mine since my first time touching the field. I look forward to what’s next,” wrote McGee via X.
