Imagine a 6-foot-7, 333-pound athlete who’s only been playing American football since 2023—now picture him making a bold move to a powerhouse program like Ole Miss. That’s exactly what Enoch Wangoy, a redshirt freshman offensive tackle from Florida, has done. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, Wangoy has signed with Ole Miss out of the NCAA Transfer Portal, bringing his untapped potential to Oxford with three years of eligibility remaining. But here’s where it gets intriguing: Wangoy, originally from Manchester, England, has yet to play a single collegiate game during his two seasons in Gainesville. He entered the portal on January 2nd in search of more playing time, and Ole Miss has given him that opportunity.
Wangoy’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. After reclassifying following two years at Zarephath Academy in Jacksonville, Florida, he signed with the Gators as a three-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Ranked as the No. 54 offensive tackle in his class and the No. 887 player overall by the Rivals Industry Ranking, he’s a raw talent with immense upside. And this is the part most people miss: his transition from a latecomer to the sport to a Division I athlete is a testament to his dedication and athleticism.
But Wangoy isn’t the only big name joining the Rebels. On the same day, Ole Miss secured the commitment of Joshua Dye, the nation’s leading rusher from Southern Utah. Dye, who racked up 1,832 rushing yards and 28 touchdowns in 2025, is a game-changer. His addition to an already dynamic running back room—which includes Kewan Lacy, a Doak Walker Award finalist with 1,567 rushing yards this season—makes Ole Miss’ backfield one of the most formidable in the country.
Here’s where it gets controversial: Ole Miss’ postseason success, including their run to the College Football Playoff national semifinals, came despite an abrupt coaching change. Pete Golding stepped in as head coach after Lane Kiffin’s departure to LSU, and the team didn’t skip a beat. Does this speak to the players’ resilience, or is there more to the story?
Wangoy becomes the third offensive lineman in Ole Miss’ 24-member 2026 transfer class, joining former LSU interior lineman Carius Curne and Oklahoma’s Troy Everett. His signing, along with Dye’s commitment, underscores the Rebels’ aggressive approach to building a championship-caliber roster.
