Ole Miss landed the No.1 ranked 2025 recruit out of Mississippi, five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham. They also bagged five of the top 12 players from the state, helping land another top 20-ranked recruiting class.

Kiffin is now zoning in on the 2026 class, and once again, the state of Mississippi has some top talent for Ole Miss to recruit. One of those high school players is five-star safety Bralan Womack.

The Rebels' head coach has Womack at the top of his recruiting list. He took time out of his busy schedule to visit the Flowood native at his school.

Pete Golding and Kevin Bolden also traveled to speak with Womack, Mississippi's No.2 ranked player. 247Sports composite rankings have him as the No.2 safety and No.24 player nationally.

Ole Miss has successfully recruited instate defensive players, especially since Pete Golding arrived in 2023. Womack would be another great addition, but the Rebels will face stiff competition from the top programs.

The Rebels are also targeting the No.1 player out of Mississippi, who happens to be the No.3 ranked player in the nation per 247Sports.

Wide receiver Tristen Keys is a five-star recruit rated (98), the same as 2025 Caleb Cunningham. Ole Miss has early competition from Tennessee but feels confident and is one of the 12 teams Keys focuses on in his recruitment.

Ole Miss will definitely have commits from some of the top players in Mississippi, but can they get both top guys?
