Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels scored a major win against No. 3 Georgia, which boosted their College Football Playoff chances and created positive momentum in recruiting. Following the win, 5-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham, ranked as the No. 16 player in the 2025 class, flipped his commitment from Alabama to Ole Miss. He’s now the No. 2 wide receiver in his class and the top player in Mississippi. This is a huge boost for Kiffin and the Ole Miss program in the recruiting landscape.
Caleb Cunningham’s commitment flip to Ole Miss from Alabama, following his visit for the Rebels’ win over Georgia, gives Ole Miss a top-20 recruiting class for 2025. The class includes 4-star recruits Shekai Mills-Knight, Ladarian Cardy, and Cortez Thomas. Lane Kiffin’s recruiting success builds on previous transfer portal gains, like Walter Nolan from Texas A&M and Antwane Wells Jr. from South Carolina, strengthening the Rebels’ roster.
If Ole Miss maintains its current recruiting success and continues to excel in the transfer portal, Lane Kiffin could soon elevate the Rebels to a sustained level of SEC dominance. This recruiting momentum, along with standout portal additions, is positioning Ole Miss as a rising power in college football.
