While the 2018 Ole Miss football season drawing near the 2019 Ole Miss recruiting class is getting larger and hanging in the rankings.

Ole Miss football is now less than a month away and excitement is building with hopes of a great season. Ole Miss football recruiting has also been fun to watch so close to the beginning of the season. Of course, with college football recruiting there is never a dull moment and so far this staff has delivered. Naturally with the twists and turn in the recruiting world it can be difficult to keep up.

This past week has been no different for coach Matt Luke and the 2019 Ole Miss recruiting class. The Rebels picked up three top commitments to boost the total of the class to 27 but then this past Thursday lost the commitment of Diwun Black. Black is regarded as one of the best ILB available in the 2019 class and is considered to be a five-star by many college football recruiting outlets. According to OMSpirit, Black is the fifth de-commitment for the 2019 Ole Miss recruiting class.
