Four-Star Ole Miss Football Commitment Visits SEC Rival for Unofficial Trip

Jackson (Miss.) Calloway High offensive lineman Li'Marcus Jones revealed a commitment to Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels in March, but it hasn't stopped SEC programs from remaining in contact.

Jones, an elite offensive lineman in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle, has reeled in offers from the likes of Ole Miss, Arkansas State and Liberty following a standout junior campaign, but other schools continue showing interest.

After a successful visit to Oxford in March, Jones elected to reveal a verbal pledge to the Rebels with Kiffin and Co. winning out for his services.

Jones is a Top-10 prospect in Mississippi, according to On3 Sports, and is rated as a three-star offensive tackle in the rising-junior class.

Now, the Ole Miss commitment is back on the road checking in with other Southeastern Conference schools.

Jones was in Gainesville this week for an unofficial visit with Billy Napier and the Florida Gators to check in with the program in "The Swamp."

The 6-foot-5, 285-pounder out of Jackson (Miss.) is a player that has garnered SEC interest with the expectation being that he continues becoming a sought-after target in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle.

Ole Miss has remained hot on the recruiting scene with the program also landing a commitment from one of the top running backs in March.

The Newest Rebel: Ja'Michael Jones

Montgomery (Ala.) Pike Road three-star running back Ja'Michael Jones has committed to Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels, he revealed via social media on Sunday afternoon.

Jones, a 5-foot-10, 190-pounder with a myriad of schools pursuing his services, reveals his pledge to the Rebels fresh off of a weekend visit to Oxford.

The impressive Alabama running back recently revealed Ole Miss in his final eight schools alongside Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Ohio State, South Carolina and Tennessee as the finalists.

Just one week later, Jones has shut down his process and revealed a verbal commitment to the Rebels.

Jones has received over 30 offers during his prep career with Kiffin's crew now making the move for one of the top running backs in the South.

The goal was for Jones to make his way down to Oxford this month as he looks to get a closer look into the Rebels and Kiffin's program. This weekend, he did just that.

“They make football a business that seems very fun to be in,” Jones said of Ole Miss when speaking to OM Spirit last year. “My relationship with them is very good. Kevin Smith was the first coach to give me an offer. Ever since then, we have been very close.”

The Rebels are quickly beginning to make noise on the recruiting trail this spring with a myriad of priority prospects making their way to Oxford for unofficial visits.
