Kris Mangum, Tight End, Ole Miss, 1994-1996

Ole Miss tight end Kris Mangum earned first-team All-America honors in 1996 when he served as team captain for the Rebels.  A two-time All-SEC selection, Mangum caught 74 passes for 729 yards and four touchdowns during his three seasons with the Rebels, averaging 9.9 yards per reception.   He was named the 1996 SEC Most Outstanding Lineman by the Birmingham Monday Morning Quarterback Club, and he finished his collegiate career ranked second among Ole Miss tight ends in passes caught and third in receiving yards.
