Heritage Hills senior Jett Goldsberry flipped his commitment from Mississippi to Purdue on Wednesday morning, giving the Boilermakers one of the top in-state recruits in the signing class.

Goldsberry’s decision follows coach Lane Kiffin’s move from Ole Miss for the LSU job earlier this week. The Heritage Hills star accumulated 3,372 all-purpose yards and 56 touchdowns as a senior and made 45 tackles with 12 tackles for loss and four sacks.

Goldsberry considered Purdue during his recruiting process before picking Ole Miss following an official visit in June. He is rated as the No. 5 in-state prospect and No. 474 nationally by 247Sports composite rankings.

“I want to start by thanking coach Wes Neighbors and the entire Ole Miss staff for believing in me and taking the time to recruit me,” Goldsberry said in a social media post. “I’ve got nothing but respect for the program and the people there, and I’m grateful for the opportunity they gave me. After a lot of thought and talks with my family, I’ve decided to decommit from Ole Miss and flip my commitment to Purdue. I’m excited about the direction of the new coaching staff and the vision they have for me, and I can’t wait to be a part of what they’re building. Thank you again to coach Neighbors and Ole Miss for everything. Ready for this next chapter. Boiler Up.”

Goldsberry figures to be in the mix for Mr. Football when the vote comes out later this month.

For his career, he had 10,539 all-purpose yards and 154 touchdowns on offense and 254 tackles, 21 TFLs, 10 sacks and four interceptions on defense. He led Heritage Hills to a Class 3A state title as a junior.
