OXFORD — Wednesday is the start of college football’s early signing period, and Ole Miss is keeping the state’s best players home.
The Rebels have officially inked a pair of top-100 national recruits — and Mississippi natives —in linebacker Suntarine Perkins and wide receiver Ayden Williams. Perkins is ranked as the No. 47 player in the country by 247 Sports. Perkins and Williams are listed as the top two players in the Magnolia State, respectively. With the signing of edge rusher Jamarious Brown, Ole Miss has signed three of the top five players in Mississippi.
“I think (winning in state is) really big, which is obvious. (It’s) something that didn’t necessarily happen when we first got here. They were going away to play,” Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said. “And so, we did a better job of that, and we’ll continue to do that And as the guys come in and have success here, that’ll help that.”
Here is an alphabetical list of the newest Rebels and their recruiting information, according to 247 Sports. Stats (if available) are from MaxPreps. This list will be updated as the day goes on.
