Ole Miss Football: Rebels Recruiting Christmas Wish List
Christmas is only a few days away and we all have our own wish list. Ole Miss football also has a wish list for recruits ready to fill.
It’s been really easy to wish for great things over the past couple of years. Sadly there haven’t been very many great things to come to Ole Miss football lately. Thankfully we have Christmas. It’s that time of year to fill our Christmas wish list. Besides wishing we somehow get out of the 2018 postseason ban there is recruiting. Of course, we have already improved on recruiting with the commitments of Cam White and Matt Corral. Now we want to add just a few more.
Matt Luke is a Mississippi native and former Ole Miss offensive lineman. He is all about Ole Miss family and I expect his wish list to be top-heavy with Mississippi blue-chippers. With Dan Mullen departing Starkville in the middle of the night, recruiting at State College has taken a few hits. I believe coach Matt Luke will use this to his advantage. Let’s get started.
The Top Of The List
Ole Miss Rebels Football
.When we make this wish list we are hoping the competition will be left with a lump of coal in their stocking. Of course, with all the drama on both sides who knows how recruiting may go.
This means Matt Luke may have to create a few flips. The top of the list has to go to one which will be tough to get at Christmas. However, if we are going to wish then why not wish big?
Top Spot
The top spot goes to Malik Heath the No.1 rated WR in Mississippi. Even with Dan Mullen trying to rob him away from MSU I don’t believe Malik would be swayed to make that move.
However, the NWO will soon have an opening and Malik would fit in that spot perfectly. At 6’3″ and 205 lbs he is a 4 star beast receiver. He would get plenty of targets in the Longo offense with Ta’amu. We’ll have to see if Matt Luke can make the ultimate Ole Miss football recruiting flip at Christmas.
More Wishes
Second spot on our wish list goes to West Point standout Marcus Murphy. He is yet another 4-star ATH who is a solid commit for MSU. At 6’1″ and 190 lbs he could be a pivotal part of the Rebels offense immediately.
Third spot also goes to a State College commit and another of the best players in the state. Running back Fabian Franklin of Hattiesburg. Franklin at 5’11” and 200 lbs is another 4-star player who would find some huge yards as a feature in Longo’s offense next season.
We’ll step away from flipping Miss State commits and offensive prospects to focus on a few others. The fourth spot on our wish list is going to a defensive lineman. Jeffrey Johnson is a 6’3″ and 312 lb defensive tackle out of Brookhaven.
Even though we already have four commits at the DT position, Johnson would be a serious anchor on the line. So far Johnson is uncommitted but is looking at Alabama, Miss State and Ole Miss. You never can have too much depth on the defensive line and Johnson would play immediately.
Last But Not Least
Finally we get to the bottom of the list. The number five spot on our recruiting wish list. Of course, this spot is just as important as any other spot on the wish list. It just so happens this spot also goes to a uncommitted defensive tackle. However, he’s from the juco ranks. Teair Tart-Spencer is 6’4″ and 295 lbs and is currently looking at his top three schools which include Alabama, Ohio State and Ole Miss.
Well there you have it. This is a Christmas wish list which OHT believes would make every Ole Miss football fan smile on Christmas Day. Of course, OHT hopes everyone has a safe and happy holiday. Merry Christmas and Hotty Toddy!
