Linebacker: Solid Commits

Ole Miss already has three solid recruits committed to the Rebels. Josh Clarke from Riverdale, HS in Kenner, LA. has been faithfully committed to the Rebels since June. He has publicly recruited for others to join him in Oxford.

The 6’1 210lb linebacker has the tenacity and the fire the Rebel fans love to see. He has already developed a great relationship with the fan base. Look for him to have great success on the field.

Brenden Williams joins the team via the JUCO route. The 6’4 200lb signee from Northeast Community College brings a resume of tackling. He finished his season with 91 tackles with 11.5 tackles for loss. Tackling was a huge issue for Ole Miss last year.

However, Breon Dixon may be the biggest steal of the signing class. The four-star linebacker from Loganville, GA. has hit the ground running as a recruiting signee. Dixon is a defensive play maker. He seems to always be around the ball making big plays. He was named an Under Armour All-American and the 6’0 216lbs linebacker could be a big asset early.
