August Recruiting Wrap-up: Where Is Ole Miss at With the Class of 2021?
Lane Kiffin struck big with wide receivers in August.
To this point, with 12 commitments for Ole Miss in the class of 2021, the strengths of the class clearly come at the skill positions.
Of the twelve Rebel commits, three are wide receivers, four are defensive backs and another one is an athlete that projects as a corner. For those keeping track, that's 67% of the committed class at skill positions.
In the month of August, two of the three commitments came at receiver, both from Texas. The third was Demarcus Smith, a defensive end out of Alabama.
Keep your eye out tonight (Tuesday, Sept. 1) for Quarterback Maddox Kopp, an SI All-American candidate from Houston, Tex., who is deciding between Ole Miss and Houston. (Update, he committed to Houston).
