‘Flipmas’ in the ‘Sip! 4-Star Running Back Kedrick Reescano Commits to Ole Miss
OXFORD, Miss. — It’s indeed beginning to look a lot like a “Flipmas” in the ‘Sip. In a 24 hour-span, the Rebs have flipped another big-time playmaker in 4-star running back Kedrick Reescano, following the commitment of offensive lineman Ethan Fields Friday who de-committed from Purdue.
The final destination of one of the nation’s top uncommitted running backs has probably been one of the most anticipated of the 2023 class. The New Caney standout was previously committed to Michigan State but de-committed late in October.
The powerhouse future Rebel stands at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds and ranks as the No. 5 overall running back in his class.
After his de-commitment, it was no surprise Reescano would become one of the most sought-after recruits in the class. Saturday evening, Kedrick took to Twitter to announce just where he would be heading.

As we say in the recruiting world, this is a huge get for the Rebels’ offense, especially that running back room, and it’s a checkmate from Coach Lane Kiffin and Coach Marquel Blackwell. Blackwell has been a staple in the recruitment of Reescano since the Rebel assistant was at University of Houston.
Indeed, relationships DO matter.
The Rebels hosted Reescano and his family back in October, and from then on it was apparent there was great potential for Ole Miss to earn his interest and his commitment.
Thank you @CoachKiffinn @CoachBlack10 For stopping by. Great in home visit #hottytoddy 🔴🔵 pic.twitter.com/YxhIPIVfrY

Fit in the ‘Sip
The Rebels have reloaded with the addition of one of the most dynamic running backs out of Lone Star State and in the 2023 class.
He closed out his senior season at New Caney, rushing for 1,849 yards with 35 touchdowns. The three-year varsity starter and track star closed out his high school career with a total of 4,548 rushing yards and 67 touchdowns.

When he gets the ball, Reescano is extremely strong and can push through defenders with his exceptional agility. He also has a very strong track background as an elite triple jumper in the state of Texas.
Congratulations to my lil big man @KedrickReescano for beating his own school record, placing him 2nd and qualifying to regionals next week #umw #newcaneytrack #classof2023 pic.twitter.com/6vXFLfjYPe

The Rebels won big on the recruiting trail with Reescano, and there are still a few days to go until the December 21 Early Signing Day. The commitment of Reescano has been one that many Rebels have hoped for.
The Texan is the third-highest rated Ole Miss pledge of this recruiting class, behind Suntarine Perkins at No. 47 and Ayden Williams No. 90. Who is next? Another Texas Reb? Stay tuned and Merry Flipmas!
