Maddox’ older brother, Andrew Maddox, is a freshman quarterback on the Ole Miss team. The duo has actually played together before inside Vaught-Hemingway, as the Oak Grove Warriors defeated the Starkville Yellowjackets in the first ever 7A State Championship game back on December 3, 2023 in Oxford.
And, there are not just two Maddox brothers….there are three! The youngest, Andrae Maddox, is a 2028 defensive lineman who also has been offered by the Rebels.
You could say football runs in the family. It’s not just the three brothers who excel at the game. Their father, Anthony Maddox, is a former D2 All-American defensive lineman at Delta State. He was teammates with Ole Miss defensive coordinator Pete Golding before going on to be a 4th-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
This addition of Andrew is a huge part of the plan for the Ole Miss defense for the coming years. The commitment of Maddox gives the Rebels’ Class of 2025 12 commits at this point, ranking them 21st in the nation.
