Ole Miss recruiting news: Early signing day closes in as Rebels push for more commits

The recruiting schedule looks a little different this year after several changes. Early signing day, usually around December 20, has been moved to a more suitable time for head coaches. This year, it will occur from December 4 to December 6, the week before the conference championship weekend.

2025 recruits have until February 5, national signing day, to decide their college future, with most signing during this early window. Ole Miss has over a month to push for the final few pieces to complete its recruiting class.

Can Ole Miss seal the Caleb Cunningham flip?

The crown jewel of Ole Miss's 2025 recruiting class is clearly in-state wide receiver Caleb Cunningham.

However, Lane Kiffin and his staff may have pulled it back after the weekend visit for the Oklahoma game.

Cunningham has spoken highly about the staff at Ole Miss, telling recruiting sites that they wouldn't let him leave Oxford until the next day. After several teams were involved, it looks like it's coming down to Ole Miss or Alabama.
