OXFORD, Miss. –– If you watch tape of class of 2027 wide receiver Sheldon Isaac, you’ll likely be in awe of his talent. Some of the plays he makes will simply leave you speechless. If you have the time, go pull up his tape on Hudl, and just enjoy it. He is coming off a 1,184-yard, 14-touchdown junior season.
Isaac is a six-foot-two-inch, 170-pound junior from McComb, Mississippi. The three-star recruit lists Ole Miss as his top school.
He has been clocked at 4.5 in the 40. Where he excels, however, is the 50/50 ball. There are multiple plays where he “mossed” a corner, making a spectacular catch over the defender, usually by out-jumping him for a deep ball.
As a raw athlete, Isaac has true potential to be next up, but as in the case of most young receivers, he still has development to be made.
I had the chance to talk with Isaac recently, and I wanted to know what drives him. His answer is interesting, but not entirely unexpected.
“What drives me is seeing my brother make it to college, and what he did in high school, so I expect to do better than him.”
Sheldon Isaac
Issac’s brother is actually a Mississippi State receiver, Sanfrisco Magee. Magee was formerly committed to the Rebels, but flipped to the Bulldogs. Much like his brother, Isaac has offers from both Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
I asked the talented receiver what his top schools are — and there was one that stood out.
“(In order), Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Utah, and Tennessee.”
Isaac on his top choices
Utah is certainly an outlier there, but the Rebels lead the pack, as Issac tells me he has had good talks with Ole Miss coaches L’Damian Washington and Donte Moncrief.
“(It’s) been great (to) talk about how I fit in with their (Ole Miss’) offense and how they love me.“

Isaac could easily find a role with the Rebels, as his effort and how much he competes would almost force the coaches to find a way for him to see the field. He would be an excellent recruit for Pete Golding and his staff if they can land him.
Overall, Isaac is driven by something that most younger siblings are: keeping up with their older sibling. It just so happens that if his recruitment continues, he just might meet his brother again, but this time on the opposite side of the field for the Egg Bowl.
