Visitors List | Ole Miss set to host commits and top targets in Friday’s Egg Bowl
OXFORD, Miss. — Ole Miss hosts Mississippi State Friday in the annual Egg Bowl, and plenty of the nation’s top recruits and Rebel commits will be on hand to watch this in-state rivalry game.
After last Saturday’s loss to Florida, Ole Miss is looking to regroup, beat the Bulldogs — and keep their slim college football playoff hopes alive. This year’s Egg Bowl is not just a chance for the Rebels to find redemption after the defeat in The Swamp, but it’s also an opportunity for Ole Miss to recruit and build for the future.
We are just a short week away from National Signing Day, coming December 4, so this Friday matchup in the Vaught will mean a great deal to the recruiting momentum the Rebels look to keep going.
Lane Kiffin and his staff will have some of the Ole Miss commits on hand for official visits, and these players will no doubt help recruit other prospects on hand for the Battle of the Golden Egg.
Also, for those keeping up with five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham, who recently flipped to Ole Miss from Alabama, don’t be worried if you don’t see him in the Vaught Friday. Cunningham will not be in town because he will be playing in the Choctaw County playoff game later Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. against East Webster.
Below are the playmakers you need to know who are scheduled to be in Oxford. As always, this list is subject to changes but we will keep you updated.
