The Wildcats secondary should keep an eye on the budding star receiver for the Rebels, Jonathan Mingo. According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), Mingo is the highest-rated receiver on both sidelines for this matchup.

Mingo’s stat line isn’t a line that stands out compared to even those on the Wildcats sideline. However, the senior receiver has been almost automatic when it comes to catching the rock. On 18 targets this season, Mingo has 12 receptions for 257 yds and 1 TD. The Wildcats’ secondary hasn’t backed down from a challenge all season, and Mingo should be no different.
