2027 4-star QB Malachi Zeigler set for return visit to Ole Miss this weekend: ‘I am most impressed with their resilience’
OXFORD, Miss. — It is going to be a weekend to remember in Oxford as the Rebels host the Georgia Bulldogs, and that means it will also be another key opportunity for recruiting. Ole Miss is set to host plenty of commits and prospects, and we will bring you all the updates.
We are catching up with some of the playmakers who’ll be on the sidelines for a visit Saturday. Class of 2027 4-star QB Malachi Zeigler is no stranger to the electric gamedays at Ole Miss. This weekend will mark his second time in Oxford this season as he was also in town for the Kentucky game. He also was on a visit to LSU when Ole Miss lost to the Tigers in Baton Rouge.
One of the nation’s rising young quarterbacks, Zeigler will take in the sights and sounds this weekend as the Rebels look to take down the Dawgs and keep their playoff dreams alive.
“I will be talking with the coaches and just continuing to grow our relationships,” Zeigler told us of his upcoming visit.
The 6-foot-3, 190-pound signal caller out of Benton High School in Benton, Louisiana, currently stands as the No. 50 overall prospect in 2027. He ranks as the No. 5 overall QB and No. 3 athlete out of Louisiana.
In addition to his offer from Ole Miss, Zeigler is already building up a strong offer sheet that includes: Arkansas, Baylor, Grambling State, Louisiana, Louisiana Tech, Mississippi State, Oklahoma State, SMU and TCU, to name a few.

We asked Malachi what has impressed him about the way Ole Miss has been playing.
“I am most impressed with their resilience. As a team, they seem to have really bought in to what the coaches are trying to do. Having coaches that truly believe in their guys makes us want to go all out for them. So what they are doing right now is something special.”
