It’s that time of year again. National signing day is here, and Ole Miss is looking to bring in another big recruiting class, as the Rebels will sign up to 24 players today.
It may not draw the attention of last year’s unanimously top-10 class, but the class looks to be a solid one.
The Rebels have room to sign 28 total players, and four junior college players signed in the early signing period in December. Those players include athlete Jeremy Liggins, linebacker Christian Russell, defensive end Marquis Haynes and offensive lineman Fahn Cooper, all of whom are three-star prospects, according to the 247sports.com composite rankings.
That leaves room for 24 more players to sign, including four-star safety C.J. Hampton and three-star quarterback Kendrick Doss, who were early enrollees who began classes at Ole Miss this spring. Hampton and Doss will both sign their letters of intent today.
The Rebels have room for 22 more spots and have 17 players committed, so if they sign all of their committed players, they could potentially add five players to the recruiting class.
The most likely candidates are three-star cornerback Terrence Alexander, three-star running back D.J. Law, four-star wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie, three-star defensive tackle Michael Sawyers and three-star offensive lineman Jordan Sims.
Ole Miss is also in the running for five-star wide receiver Malachi Dupre and five-star athlete Bo Scarbrough. Scarbrough has been committed to Alabama.
Alexander and Dupre will make their announcements live during ESPNU’s coverage of national signing day.
The other recruits will sign their letters of intent throughout the day.
