DESTIN, Fla. — Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell has become one of the most discussed players of the college football offseason.

When Ole Miss was at its best and dancing in and around the top four of the College Football Playoff in late October and early November, Treadwell was the centerpiece of the high-octane Rebel offense. He had 48 catches for 632 yards and five touchdowns and appeared to be headed for a sixth score—a potential game-winner in the closing seconds of the Auburn game.
