JAEMYN BRAKEFIELD NEWS

Continues strong play off bench Brakefield accumulated 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 98-84 win over Kentucky.

Impact Brakefield has been a great piece for Ole Miss off the bench. He's quietly scored in double figures in eight straight games, with only one of those being a start. At 6-foot-8, his ability to knock down multiple threes in a game does wonders for the Rebels' spacing as well. He'll continue to be an X-factor for head coach Chris Beard's squad as March draws closer.

Provides value in spot start Brakefield fouled out of Saturday's 83-75 loss to Missouri after recording 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes.

Impact Despite appearing on the injury report this week, Brakefield has yet to miss a game this season and even made his first start of 2024-25 on Saturday, taking the spot of Dre Davis, who was sidelined with an undisclosed injury of his own. His production of late has ramped up even without occupying the starting five, as Brakefield is averaging 14.6 points and 5.2 rebounds over the last five games -- four of which as a reserve. Ole Miss may have hit a rough patch with three consecutive losses, but the fifth-year senior is producing at roughly the same rate he did in the 2023-24 campaign.

Off final injury report Brakefield (undisclosed) isn't listed on Mississippi's final injury report ahead of the Rebels' clash with Texas A&M.

Probable for Wednesday Brakefield is probable for Wednesday's game against Texas A&M due to an undisclosed injury, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The extent of the injury is uncertain, but the probable tag suggests Brakefield might be able to suit up anyway. The big man is averaging 10.2 points and 5.0 rebounds per game this season.

Consecutive double-digit outings Brakefield racked up 13 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 74-64 victory over Alabama.

Impact Brakefield continues to be a huge part of the Rebels' game-plan as a sixth man. The forward hasn't gotten to the line with that much consistency this season, but he went a perfect 7-of-7 from the charity stripe in the big win over Alabama. He has a combined 29 points in his last two outings, and if he can keep it up into the meat of SEC play, that would be massive for Ole Miss.

Impact Brakefield has yet to start a game this season, but he's averaging 26.3 minutes and he played 30 minutes against South Alabama. He also has double digit points in each game this year, including a season-high 14 against the Jaguars. Starter or not, Brakefield looks like an integral part of the the Rebels' lineup.

Impact Brakefield is not listed amongst Mississippi's starting five as they look to open the season with a win over LIU-Brooklyn. Jaylen Murray has gotten the start in place of the 6-foot-8 senior who started in 32 games with the Rebels last season. Brakefield, who averaged 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists on 29.3 minutes last year is likely to remain heavily involved off the bench.

Using extra season of eligibility Brakefield will use his extra season of collegiate eligibility, according to Jared Redding of 247Sports.com.

Impact Brakefield began his collegiate career during 2020, the same year COVID-19 significantly affected college basketball's 2020-21 season. As a result, players like him were given an extra campaign of collegiate eligibility. Fast forward several years later, and he will use the additional season to finish his collegiate career during 2025 instead of 2024. The announcement is significant news for Mississippi should Brakefield re-enroll at Ole Miss, considering he is about to log his second consecutive season with averages of more than 10 points and five rebounds.

The senior has continued to impress this season and has now scored double-digits in five of the last six outings for Ole Miss. Expect the forward to remain a primary scorer in this offense as conference play continues.
