Ole Miss football kicks off the season in just a couple of months but, the 2020 recruiting cycle has kicked into high gear and the Rebels are rolling.
You can always tell when Ole Miss football is getting closer to the season. It may just be the beginning of July but Ole Miss recruiting has seen a huge upswing over the past month and it is expected to get even better in the coming weeks. Matt Luke and his staff have been busy on the recruiting trail and have been building commitments.
In the month of June alone, coach Matt Luke and the Rebels picked up 15 commitments and added one more July 2. This brings the 2020 Ole Miss recruiting class to 21 total and has boosted the Rebels rankings to No.15 in the nation and No.7 in the SEC. While some Ole Miss football fans were skeptical about recruiting moving forward the month of June shows we are doing great.
