Summer rest is no such thing for Mike Bianco and Ole Miss, as the transfer portal is in mid-season form, the Rebels have wasted no time preparing for the 2027 season.
The MLB draft will begin July 11, and the Rebels could see a few players make their way to the professional ranks. In the midst of the team making an appearance in Omaha, Bianco and staff have quietly began building another strong roster for next season.

RHP Mavrick Rizy (LSU)

RHP Charlie Willcox (Georgia Tech)
The Santa Rosa Beach, Florida native is listed at 6’3 and 218 pounds. He was a top 75-ranked prospect out of high school, his main pitching arsenal revolves around a powerful fastball, and a unpredictable curveball.

LHP Eli Pillsbury (Jacksonville State)

C Brady Dallimore (TCU)
Dallimore, in addition to his catching skills, can play eiother right or left field. That comes into the equation when factoring whether or not this year’s catcher, Austin Fowley, decides to stay in Oxford or pursue pro ball after the Major League baseball First-Year’s Player Draft.
Dallimore blasted eight home runs and drove in 23 for the Horned Frogs this season with a .270 batting average.
OF Blake Fields (Houston)
Fields started 53 games as a true freshman for Houston in 2026, hitting .261 with three home runs and 26 RBI. The versatile Fields can play in the infield or outfield, which is especially important as Ole Miss tries to replace both corner outfielders from this season’s team.
LHP Charlie Foster (Mississippi State)
The 6-foot-4, 205-pound sophomore arrives in Oxford with SEC experience and the potential to develop into a valuable piece of the Rebels’ pitching staff.
During the 2026 season at Mississippi State, Foster appeared in 15 games and made nine starts. He finished with a 0-3 record and a 6.69 ERA over 36.1 innings pitched. He allowed 38 hits, 31 runs (27 earned), walked 22 batters, and struck out 37.

RHP Kendall Hoffman (Houston)

He owns a consistent 92-94 miles-per-hour fastball.
RHP Andrew Rogovic (Northeastern)
Rogovic brings valuable college experience to Oxford after spending his career at Northeastern, where he developed into a reliable pitcher against strong competition. In his most recent season, Rogovic posted a 3.42 ERA with 78 strikeouts over 68.1 innings pitched, while holding opposing hitters to a .241 batting average. His ability to command the strike zone and generate swings and misses made him one of Northeastern’s most dependable arms.
Departures:

Moseley batted .212 with three home runs, nine runs scored, and six walks while posting a .952 fielding percentage with just one error defensively.
INF/OF Brayden Randle
Seemingly the biggest loss for Bianco and the Rebels, Randle was one of the best players for Ole Miss throughout the post season.
Playing at both infield and outfield positions, Randle’s versatility and confidence will be a stain for the Rebels, but other additions will try and make up for it.
Randle slate a .259 batting average, and 23 RBIs to tag along to his state line.
OF Tate SirmansÂ
Sirmans has committed to Georgia Southern, he appeared in 25 games last season.
LHP Noah Allen
