Ole Miss Lands Corey Barber Over SEC Rivals

Ole Miss, under head coach Lane Kiffin, has secured a major recruiting victory by landing four-star wide receiver Corey Barber, who chose the Rebels over Alabama, Georgia, and Miami. Barber, ranked No. 43 nationally among wide receivers, joins other key Ole Miss 2025 commitments such as linebacker Izayia Williams and running back Damarius Yates. This boost comes as Ole Miss rebuilds after losing 18 starters to the NFL Draft and transfer portal. Alabama, led by new coach Kalen DeBoer following a 9-4 season, maintains a strong 2026 recruiting class and is still in the running for Minnesota's top recruit, Roman Voss. Barber's commitment highlights the fierce recruiting competition among SEC powerhouses. The shifting rosters and high-profile commitments reflect ongoing efforts to secure elite talent in a rapidly changing college football landscape.
