Ole Miss right guard John Jerry may be just a sophomore, but coach Ed Orgeron said he already has gained plenty of respect.

In fact, Orgeron considers the 6-foot-5, 335-pound Jerry one of Ole Miss' leaders even with veterans like tight end Robert Lane, running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, left tackle Michael Oher and quarterback Seth Adams .
"He's really a leader," Orgeron said. "Most big guys are going to go out there and do the work, but he's jovial. He makes jokes. He cracks on guys. I think the guys look up to him."
