- LB commits Willie Gay and Josh Clarke have put on their recruiting hats for the Rebels and have taken leadership of the current commits. These two guys are friends with a lot of big-time recruits and it is really starting to help Ole Miss.
- 3-star QB commit Alex Faniel, who is polynesian, tells me he plans on helping recruit players. Specifically, he’s targeting players like 4-star OT Chuck Filiaga and 4-star DT Jay Tufele to help join the “Poly Pipeline” the caches are trying to establish. Rommel Mageo and Alex Faniel are the current Polynesians that are either committed or on the roster currently.
