A Visit with ’25 Ole Miss Commit Bryson Walters: ‘I have dreamed my whole life of playing in my home state…in the best atmosphere there is in college football’

OXFORD, Miss. — Talent comes in all shapes and forms — and sometimes it’s right in your own backyard. Class of 2025 Ole Miss commit Bryson Walters didn’t initially have a huge offer sheet and tons of hoopla surrounding his recruitment, but you can bet that has changed given the statement the 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker is making in his senior campaign at Itawamba Agricultural High School.

The Fulton, Mississippi product, located about 70 miles away from Oxford, definitely caught the eyes of Rebel defensive coordinator Pete Golding who offered Walters back on June 8, 2024.

Walters committed to Ole Miss on August 23.

We visited with Walters recently and he talked about how his senior year is going.

“Then season is going good. We are grinding week-to-week. I am trying to soak up every moment of it. I have 55 tackles, 4 FF, 2 FR, and 1 INT in 4 games,” Walters said.

Not a bad start, wouldn’t you agree?

Bryson and his teammates traveled to face Lewisburg in Thursday night action this week, and they emerged victorious over the Patriots, 43-27. Come sunrise Saturday morning, he will be making his way back to Oxford to take in his future home.

He’ll also be putting on his recruiting hat during what will be another huge recruiting weekend in the ‘Sip.

We caught up with Walters to get a preview of his visit as the Rebels are set to host the Kentucky Wildcats in an early 11:00 a.m. showdown from Vaught-Hemingway.

A Visit with Bryson Walters

Walters on what he is most looking forward to on the visit:

“I’m looking forward to the atmosphere of playing another SEC school during homecoming.”

On how he will use this weekend to help recruit future Rebs:

“I am going to talk to some of the recruits and tell them why Ole Miss is the best choice they could make.”

On why the ‘Sip is the move:

“I believe I fit into the defensive scheme. I have also dreamed my whole life of playing in my home state in front of my family and friends in the best atmosphere there is in college football.”

It will be a busy weekend for Walters, but it is clear he is ready to handle business on the football field and the recruiting trail.
