The rising sophomore arrives in Oxford after an impressive debut season with the Horned Frogs, where he earned a spot on the Big 12 All-Freshman Team while showcasing the power that made him one of the conference’s most promising young players.

Dallimore appeared in 43 games and made 33 starts during his first collegiate season, hitting .270 with eight home runs, 23 RBIs, and a .549 slugging percentage. His ability to impact the baseball immediately stood out, as he quickly became one of TCU’s most dangerous power threats despite being one of the youngest players on the roster.

For Ole Miss, the addition addresses both the present and the future. As Coach Bianco waits to learn the fate of several draft-eligible players, including this past season’s catcher Austin Fawley, he and the Rebels continue stacking talent for the future. Dallimore arrives in Oxford with three years of eligibility remaining and the potential to become a cornerstone piece for a program looking to remain among the SEC’s elite.

He gives Ole Miss another talented option behind the plate while adding a powerful bat to the lineup. His ability to catch, serve as a designated hitter, or simply provide offensive production gives Mike Bianco additional flexibility as the Rebels reshape their roster following their College World Series run.

What makes Dallimore particularly attractive is the combination of power and projection.

At a position where offense is often viewed as a bonus, Dallimore already possesses the type of middle-of-the-order potential that can change games. His first collegiate home run came in dramatic fashion — a walk-off blast against Abilene Christian — and he continued to show throughout the season that the moment was never too big for him.

As the year progressed, TCU increasingly found ways to keep his bat in the lineup, utilizing him both behind the plate and as a designated hitter. That flexibility could prove valuable for Ole Miss as the coaching staff works to assemble next season’s lineup.

Defensively, Dallimore remains a developing catcher with considerable upside — and a bat that has already proven capable of producing at the Power Four level.

His arrival also continues a clear offseason trend.

Bianco and his stave have aggressively attacked the transfer portal in an effort to replenish a roster that is expected to lose several key contributors to graduation and the MLB Draft. The additions of players such as Trey Hawsey, Blake Fields, Eli Pillsbury, Charlie Foster, Mavrick Rizy, Brent Stukes, and Charlie Willcox have already strengthened multiple areas of the roster.

Now, Dallimore gives the Rebels another cornerstone piece — and one who may have his best baseball still ahead of him.

The Rebels have not just added a catcher; they have added a young player with proven power, postseason upside, and the opportunity to become one of the faces of the program’s next chapter.

As Ole Miss looks to build another roster capable of competing in the SEC and returning to Omaha, Dallimore appears poised to play a significant role in that pursuit.
