It seems like Ole Miss is making a strong push to secure Landyn Locke, especially with him visiting campus today. Lane Kiffin and his staff have been aggressive on the recruiting trail, and adding Locke to the 2025 class could give them a versatile quarterback to develop.
Locke’s decommitment from Wisconsin makes him a major target for other programs, especially given his connection to the SEC through his older brother Braedyn, who played at Mississippi State. Ole Miss might have an edge here, particularly with their track record of quarterback development under Kiffin.
Do you think Ole Miss’s system would be a good fit for Locke’s playing style? And what are your thoughts on him potentially joining the Rebels?
It sounds like Ole Miss is being proactive in identifying and recruiting young talent early, especially with Julius Mathis being a 2026 prospect. Offering a player before he’s even rated by 247Sports shows how much confidence the staff has in his potential. At 6’4″ and 220 pounds, Mathis already has the size to develop into a versatile tight end, and the early attention from Lane Kiffin’s staff could put Ole Miss in a strong position to land him as his recruitment heats up.
Joe Cox and John Garrison seem to be doing a great job of scouting Mississippi talent and building relationships with local high schools. If Mathis continues to grow and develop over the next couple of years, he could be a key player in Ole Miss’s offense down the line.
What do you think about the Rebels targeting young players like Mathis early in the process? It seems like a smart move to stay ahead in the competitive SEC recruiting landscape.
