The atmosphere at the Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on Saturday for Ole Miss's win over Georgia was enough to get five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham thinking. The Alabama commit saw what it would be like to be an Ole Miss Rebel on the biggest stage, tipping his decision.
Today, Cunningham announced he was flipping his commitment from the Crimson Tide to the Rebels. This is a huge move for head coach Lane Kiffin, who continues to change the program's trajectory.
Caleb Cunningham a statement commitment for Ole Miss
Fans were excited when several recruiting experts predicted Caleb Cunningham would flip his commitment the day after the Georgia game. Three days later, the Choctaw County High School prospect decided home was best, flipping to the Sip.

It's a statement commitment for Lane Kiffin, who brings in the No. 2 ranked wide receiver from the 2025 class. More importantly, he keeps the No.1 ranked player in Mississippi at home.
Since committing to Alabama, only Ole Miss has been in the race to flip his decision. Over the months, it has looked increasingly likely that he would become a Rebel.
Cunningham has the chance to be the face of the franchise for the next few years, following in the footsteps of Ole Miss alumni A.J. Brown and DK Metcalf, who are now two of the NFL's best receivers.
