Birmingham (Ala.) four-star defensive lineman Karlos May has locked in seven unofficial visits this offseason with Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels set to get a crack at the coveted defender.

May checks in as the No. 7 rated defensive lineman in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle with programs from coast-to-coast fighting for his commitment this offseason.

The 6-foot-4, 305-pounder has earned offers from the likes of the Ole Miss Rebels, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Auburn Tigers, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and Ohio State Buckeyes, among several others, amid his meteoric rise.

"May checks in as the top defensive lineman in Alabama this cycle and carries an offer list that covers nearly the entire SEC and features multiple other national powers. No schools have pushed harder for him than Auburn, Ohio State and Georgia, though," Rivals wrote.

"The Bulldogs and Tigers have locked in official visits. And according to Rivals’ Chad Simmons, the in-state program is the one leading the way right now."
