Four-star offensive tackle Royce Newman switched his commitment from Missouri to Ole Miss, he announced on Twitter on Monday.
Newman had been committed to the Tigers since June.

Along with Ole Miss and Missouri, Newman also received offers from NC State, Nebraska, Georgia, Illinois and Penn State.
