Ole Miss will play in San Antonio this weekend from Saturday, Sept. 21 until Monday, Sept. 23 in the Valero Texas Collegiate. 

The Rebels have already started the season strong, finishing in first and second place in the Knoxville Collegiate at the University of Tennessee. This tournament is hosted by the University of Texas San Antonio Roadrunners, and this is the team’s first collegiate of the 2024-2025 season.

The Rebels had a successful season last year and they were the No. 2 seed going into the NCAA tournament. On the other hand, UTSA struggled last year, tying for No. 37 in their round.

Notable players

Senior Kye Meeks has had a successful career at Ole Miss, becoming the first Rebel to be named to the SEC All-Freshman team in 2022 since 2018. Over four seasons, he reached a stroke average of 71.96. 

Meeks also had three back-to-back birdies in the 2022-2023 season, earning him the first Top Ten finish of his career. 

Another player to look out for is junior Tom Fischer. He managed to get an eagle in every tournament he played in the 2022-2023 season and had a stroke average of 72.75, not far from Meeks. 

Transfer

Senior Cohen Trolio joined the Rebels after playing three seasons at Louisiana State University. During his time with the Tigers, he had a stroke average of 72.87 and was part of the All-Freshman SEC Team Selection in the 2021-2022 season.

After this weekend, Ole Miss will have two weeks before its next collegiate, which will be held in Hamptons, N.Y. on Monday, Oct. 7 and Tuesday, Oct. 8.
