Ole Miss has been making significant steps in recruiting the 2026 class. They have recently added quarterback Rees Wise and are focusing on some top recruits. One of those is offensive tackle Felix Ojo. The five-star prospect visited Oxford over the weekend.
Ojo is a five-star recruit and the No.2 ranked offensive tackle in the 2026 class. Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Florida, Georgia, and Oklahoma are all chasing the Texas native. The Rebels seem to have as good a chance as any of the big recruiting giants.
The top 2026 talent spoke to the Rebel Walk and gave a glowing review of Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin, and John Garrison.
"What stood out about the way Ole Miss recruited me was how much they were pushing for me and how consistent they were throughout the process. My relationship with Coach Garrison and Kiffin helped Ole Miss onto the list of my top schools because of how much I trust them."Felix Ojo

It's rare for Ole Miss to be so heavy when recruiting an offensive tackle, but they love what they see from Ojo, seeing him as a year-one starter who could be a difference-maker along the offensive line. Current quarterback Austin Simmons has also been involved in his recruiting.
Usually, these five-star offensive line recruits have their heart set on a big school. However, the Rebels look high on his list, as he looks to be a first-round draft pick while also getting a good education.
It would be a massive statement for Kiffin and the program to get such talent onto their roster. The head coach has improved year by year in recruiting, having back-to-back top 20 classes in the last two years.
