When Ole Miss fans see the infamous Landshark tweet from defensive coordinator Pete Golding, they know something good is likely coming soon. That proved to be true as Golding tweeted the emoji Thursday night and on Friday Amos committed with the Rebels reeling in yet another big playmaker to the ‘Sip.

The Golding connection remains a strong asset for the Rebels on the recruiting trail as he recruited Amos to Alabama and was instrumental in the 6-foot-1, 197-pounder making his way to Oxford. The New Iberia, Louisiana native adds immediate experience to the defensive depth for the Rebels.

Amos was rated a three-star in the class of 2020, and was the No. 65 overall player from the state of Louisiana. He began his collegiate career with the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns where he played three seasons before heading to Tuscaloosa to join Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide in 2023.
Upon his arrival at Alabama, Amos quickly earned playing time in the rotation, emerging as one of Alabama’s top three cornerbacks last season. He rotated in behind starters Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold who both have declared for the NFL Draft. That would have left Amos as the returning starter for the Tide in 2024; however, with the retirement of Nick Saban and the resulting changes that come with the end of an era, Amos, like many of his fellow players, decided it was time for a change.
Throughout his career, the corner has tallied 71 total tackles, 52 of which were solo, and one interception.
After entering the portal January 15, Amos wasted no time in choosing the Rebels. He will arrive in Oxford with one year of eligibility remaining.
