Freeze Says Treadwell Will Return After Spring Break

Tuesday, March 3

Updating reporters on the status of Treadwell and linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche, Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said both would participate in spring practice, per Hugh Kellenberger of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger:

Treadwell, a rising junior, suffered a graphic left leg injury while making a reception near the goal line in the Rebels' 35-31 loss to Auburn last November. The score would have put Ole Miss ahead with under two minutes remaining, but Treadwell fumbled because of the injury. He was initially expected to miss four months, putting his return after spring break well within that time frame.

Before going down with the injury, Treadwell was Ole Miss' leading receiver with 48 grabs for 632 yards and five touchdowns. He made a team-high 72 receptions as a freshman.

With Freeze expecting him back for spring practice, there is little reason to think Treadwell will have any trouble coming back and re-establishing himself as the Rebels' top option in 2015.
