Ole Miss 2025 wide receiver class is elite, with Winston Watkins Jr. committing to the Rebels
Ole Miss is active on National Signing Day, with one player, Winston Watkins Jr., a considerable part of a hit-and-miss day for Lane Kiffin. The Florida native has committed to Ole Miss today over big programs such as Georgia, Alabama, Penn State, and others.

Winston Watkins Jr is a four-star prospect per On3s Industry Rankings. He is ranked the No.38 wide receiver and No.40 player in the nation for the 2025 recruitment class.
