Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has relied on the transfer portal in recent seasons, but recruiting is still an integral part of his roster construction. The Rebels have a top-25 recruiting class per On3 and are ranked No.26 by 247Sports. I expect them to finish around that spot, but they can be in the top 20 if they secure their top targets.
One of their top targets will be on campus this weekend for the Oklahoma game. Wide receiver TI Mims will use an official visit and has said that Ole Miss is his current leader.
TI Mims Jr. could follow friend to Ole Miss
Ole Miss has two good wide receivers committed from the 2025 class, Dillon Alfred and Samari Reed. Ti Mims Jr. looks to be their best chance at adding another wide receiver to the class. Mims is rated a three-star prospect and ranked the No. 39 player out of his home state of Alabama. The ranking seems low based on what we have seen on his High School tape.
Alongside Mims saying that Ole Miss is his leader currently, another good pointer in his coming to the Rebels is that his friend, Talib Graham, has committed to Ole Miss. Graham will be accompanying Mims this weekend with Graham's parents, reported by 247Sports Inside the Rebels David Johnson.

Both players are from Alabama and have built friendships during the recruiting process. Mims has also received offers from Auburn, Arkansas, and South Alabama, but recruiting sites have predicted that he will head to Ole Miss. We will see where he chooses to play college football, but it would be a great addition to Lane Kiffin's team.
