Ole Miss football one of several teams standing out for a top 2026 offensive tackle recruit

Ole Miss has just secured another top-20 recruiting class, ranked No.16 by 247Sports. Lane Kiffin's focus shifts to the 2026 class and the transfer portal. The Rebels are being mentioned with a few recruits and stand out alongside five other schools for one four-star talent.

Offensive tackle Felix Ojo told On3 that Ole Miss, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Michigan, Texas, and USC are recruiting him the best heading into his final year of High School.

Ole Miss looking to add to their 2026 recruiting class

The Rebels have one recruit committed so far from the 2026 class, three-star athlete Zion Legree, out of Florida. It's only early in the recruiting, so it's not a concern, but now that the 2025 class is complete, expect to see many more visits this coming offseason.

Ole Miss is up against some top schools for Felix Ojo, but being in the top 6 regarding a top offensive lineman shows the huge steps Lane Kiffin and his staff take when recruiting players in the trenches.

According to the 247Sports player rankings, Ojo is the No. 6 ranked offensive tackle and the No.4 player in Texas. He holds over 40 offers from schools, covering all the top teams from the top conferences.

Can Kiffin secure another top-20 class in 2026? In his five years at Ole Miss, Kiffin has had three top 20 classes and has just secured back-to-back top 20 classes.
