With Laremy Tunsil still not in the lineup for Ole Miss, his replacement, Fahn Cooper, has stepped up and given the team surprisingly strong play from his left tackle position.

Just how well has Cooper been playing you ask? How's this for impressive:

From the SEC's Players of the Week statement:

Not bad for a player thrust into a role reserved for a preseason All-American. If Tunsil does become reinstated, the Rebels are likely going to have the best combo of tackles in the country to help the offense compete for a national title.
