Ole Miss had two high school signees arrive on campus for the spring semester. Linebacker Breon Dixon and defensive end Ryder Anderson are enrolled in class and will go through spring practice with the team.

“Ryder and Breon are extremely talented young men, and we are excited to have them on campus for the spring,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “Ryder is a winner and a gifted pass rusher that brings great length on the edge. Our staff made a strong connection with Breon during the recruiting process, and we hope he can help us address a need area right away. We appreciate both student-athletes and their families for their commitment to our program.”
Dixon is a 5-foot-11-inch, 218-pound four-star prospect from Loganville, Georgia, and helped Graysonville High School get to the 7A state championship game, the same high school that Robert and Denzel Nkemdiche attended. He’s the No. 8-rated outside linebacker by ESPN. Dixon recorded 64 tackles, 12 sacks and more than 20 tackles for loss during his senior season. Linebacker was a glaring weakness in the Rebels’ 2016 defense, and Dixon will work to help stabilize that unit.

Anderson is a 6-foot-6-inch, 231-pound three-star prospect from Katy, Texas. The Katy High School product helped anchor a defense that surrendered just 62 points this past season. He is the No. 85-ranked defensive end according to ESPN.
The two will join four junior college signees who are also on campus for the spring. The four are listed below:
(DB) Javien Hamilton- Jones County JC
(LB) Brendon Williams- Northeast Mississippi CC
(DE) Markel Winters- Jones County JC
(QB) Jordan Ta’amu- New Mexico Military Institute
All six signees will go through spring practice with the team.
