Ole Miss's No. 3 '28 class is already taking shape, & Saturday's visit day gives another major push

Ole Miss, currently ranked No. 3 nationally in the Rivals300, showcased a dominant second-half performance in their recent 45-15 victory over Auburn at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Head coach Pete Golding welcomed a strong array of recruits to campus for an early Saturday afternoon visit, among them national top prospects Samuel Bailey, Joey Fleming, and Kaleb Ballard. Bailey, the top Alabama prospect and No. 1 in the state, along with Fleming and Ballard, all showed enthusiasm for the Rebels' promising offense.

Six of the top seven in-state prospects, including top-ranked Geraci Carson, were present, showcasing Ole Miss's solid recruiting efforts in the region. In-state blue-chippers such as No. 8 receiver Joshua Parker, No. 2 running back Zaiden Jernigan, and four-star defensive talents Andrae Maddox and Tray Washington also visited. Jernigan, who attended three home games this season, praised the team's improvement.

Notably, Southlake (Texas) Carroll offensive tackle Ty McCurry returned for a second visit, reinforcing Ole Miss as his preferred choice. With a strong showing from both in-state and out-of-state prospects, the Rebels are well-positioned to continue their strong recruiting push, potentially setting the stage for a significant class in 2028.
