Cecilia (La.) four-star wide receiver Braylon Calais has blossomed into one of America's top pass-catchers with programs across the country entering his recruitment process.

Calais, the No. 2 rated receiver in Louisiana, has reeled in a myriad of offers across his time on the prep scene with the LSU Tigers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Texas A&M Aggies, Miami Hurricanes, and Houston Cougars entering the race.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder out of the Bayou State turned heads as a sophomore in 2024 after logging 1,059 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns on 163 carries with an additional 411 receiving yards and four scores as a wideout.

There have been multiple schools that have been on his radar, but the Ole Miss Rebels will look to now build a stronger relationship with the coveted pass-catcher.

Pete Golding and the Rebels extended a scholarship to Calais on Thursday after he went public with the scholarship in-hand after a phone call with Ole Miss staffer Donte Moncrief.

The hometown LSU Tigers have emerged as a serious threat in his process, but with Lane Kiffin bringing most of his offensive staff to Baton Rouge - namely wide receivers coach George McDonald - it means Calais will now have to start a new relationship with the position coach.

Along with the in-state Tigers, Ryan Day and the defending National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes are intensifying their pursuit for Calais.

According to the Rivals "Recruiting Prediction Machine," the Buckeyes remain a threat in Calais process as he cruises up the rankings alongside LSU.

But the hometown Tigers are making their presence felt in this one following another strong visit to campus this fall.

Now, add the Ole Miss Rebels to the list of potential suitors after extending an offer to the Louisiana athlete this week.

Calais is a two-way star on the prep scene, but projects as a wide receiver at the next level with LSU and other recruiting him as a pass-catcher.

Golding and the coaching staff in Oxford continue recruiting at an elite-level after dishing out multiple new scholarships this week. Now, add the Bayou State star to the list.
