Ole Miss Football Predicted to Land Commitment From Prized SEC, ACC Wide Receiver

Auburn Tigers wide receiver Horatio Fields made the decision to re-enter the NCAA Transfer Portal this week after being released from his signing with Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

Fields checks in as a Top-30 wideout in the free agent market after spending time with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and Auburn Tigers across his collegiate career.

The 6-foot-2, 201-pounder signed with the Wake Forest program as a member of the 2021 Recruiting Class where he took a redshirt with the program as a true freshman while seeing limited action across his time with the Decon Deacons.

Following the 2024 season, Fields made the move to Auburn where he compiled 12 receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown for the Tigers last fall on a struggling offense on The Plains.

Now, after four seasons with Wake Forest and one season at Auburn, Fields is back in the Transfer Portal.

Once Fields was released from his signing with Drinkwitz and Co., it was the Ole Miss Rebels that picked up steam with On3 Sports' Pete Nakos logging a prediction for Pete Golding and Co. to win out.

As it currently stands, Ole Miss has a talented receiving corps headlined by multiple newcomers heading to Oxford.

Projected Ole Miss Wide Receiver Depth Chart:

WR1: Deuce Alexander, Caleb Cunningham, Samari Reed
WR2: Darrell Gill, Isaiah Spencer, Dillon Alfred
WR3: Johntay Cook, Traylon Ray, Cameron Miller

Ole Miss could roll out a starting unit of Deuce Alexander, Darrell Gill, and Johntay Cook in 2026 with the dynamic trio having an opportunity to shine for Pete Golding and Co.

But the depth of the room is what stands out with Caleb Cunningham looking to take that next step along with the additions of Cameron Miller and Isaiah Spencers via the Transfer Portal.

Now, all eyes are on Fields going public with a decision amid multiple reports of Ole Miss being the team to beat.
