Ole Miss had many recruits in Oxford for the team's 26-14 win over Oklahoma at the weekend. One of those was a UCF commit who was impressed with the program—so much so that he flipped his commitment the next day to the Rebels.
The commitment moves Ole Miss into the top 20 of the 2025 Team Recruiting rankings, per On3. After a strong recruitment push, more could come in the next several weeks.
Tylon Lee flips commitment from UCF to Ole Miss
Three-star edge Tylon Lee has been committed to UCF since July but saw enough in Oxford to reconsider his commitment choice. Yesterday, he spoke to On3 about why he chose to decommit from the Knights and commit to Lane Kiffin's team.
""I could say so much stuff about Ole Miss. What made me flip was it felt like home and I felt wanted and needed there. The bond that the players have with each other is like no other and it reminds me of the same bond I have with my team now down in Florida!”"Tylon Lee speaking to On3

Tylon Lee is ranked the No. 38 edge and the No. 61 player in Florida per On3. He holds offers from several Florida programs as well as other top schools. It's a big flip for Ole Miss, which will hope to see more incoming over the next several weeks. The Rebels currently hold the No. 19 rank in recruiting the 2025 class and hope to secure back-to-back years in the top 20.
