The Ole Miss football program is just a few months away from kicking off the 2026 college football season, in which they will look to build off last year’s run to the final four of the playoffs. The Rebels will also look to prove that they were more than just what Lane Kiffin brought to the team, after the head coach dipped to take the same job at LSU in controversial fashion.
Recently, new Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding got a recruiting win over Kiffin and company as the offseason continues.
“BREAKING: Four-Star WR Miguel Whitley has Committed to Ole Miss, he tells me for
@Rivals. The 6’0 190 WR from New Orleans, LA chose the Rebels over LSU, Tennessee, and Arkansas. He’s ranked as the No. 66 Recruit in the 2027 Rivals300,” reported Hayes Fawcett of Rivals and On3 Sports on X, formerly Twitter.
The fact that the Rebels were able to pry an elite talent away from New Orleans, which has long been viewed as a recruiting stomping ground for LSU, is certainly an impressive feat for Golding and the rest of his staff.
Whitley is in the class of 2027, meaning it will still be a while before he sets foot in Oxford as a player, and in today’s college football landscape, a commitment is far from a sure thing.
Still, for an Ole Miss program that will be out for vengeance this year, they’ll take any win they can get, particularly if it comes at the expense of Kiffin.
In any case, Ole Miss is set to kick off its 2026 college football season on September 6 with an out of conference game against Louisville.
