Ole Miss Nears Commitment of Top Defensive Recruit Deuce Geralds

Ole Miss football, under head coach Lane Kiffin, is experiencing a resurgence with strong recruiting efforts and national recognition. The Rebels recently secured the 16th-ranked recruiting class and are pursuing top defensive talent Deuce Geralds, a highly productive four-star defensive lineman, with hopes of further elevating the program. Kiffin, who has led Ole Miss to five consecutive bowl games including three 10-win seasons, was featured on the deluxe cover of the upcoming EA Sports College Football 26 video game, alongside notable coaches and players, highlighting the program's rising profile. During the SEC Spring Meetings, Kiffin also shared insights on the team's trajectory, the quarterback room, and his views on expanding the College Football Playoff to a 16-team model for fairness and inclusion. The Rebels are preparing for the 2025 season with aspirations to make their first College Football Playoff appearance. Kiffin's inclusion on the game's cover symbolizes both his personal success and the growing prominence of Ole Miss football.
