The 2020 Ole Miss football recruiting class has been adding up and coach Matt Luke and his staff added another solid commitment Saturday.
While the jury may still be out on the quality of the 2020 Ole Miss football recruiting class, there is no doubt it has heated up for head coach Matt Luke. In the span of less than two weeks the Rebels have added ten commitments to the 2020 class and may just be getting started. The latest commitment came Saturday.
Saturdays commitment puts the 2020 recruiting class at 14 future Rebels and ranks No.20 nationally. The class also ranks No.9 in the SEC. Saturdays commitment marks the sixth defensive commitment and shows head coach Matt Luke and defensive coordinator Mike MacIntyre are looking to build in the new 3-4 defense. Saturdays commitment also marks the sixth out-of-state player to commit to Matt Luke and the Rebels.
