Croucher revealed a commitment to the Ole Miss Rebels last fall with the Oxford community welcoming the elite quarterback with open arms - ultimately choosing the SEC program over Oregon down the stretch.

"The place, Oxford I fell in love with. Really like how everything is set up there. In the end I feel very confident about what they can do for me and what I can do for them. They can develop me into a top caliber player in the SEC. Can’t wait for it! I’m very blessed for this amazing opportunity.”

Now, as he gears up for his senior campaign, Croucher has seen his status skyrocket in the recruiting rankings with Rivals moving him to the No. 4 rated quarterback in America.

The Evaluation via Rivals: "A three-sport athlete, Croucher has focused his attention on football and moved this offseason to play for Tennessee powerhouse Baylor School after he spent the last two seasons at Cheshire Academy in Connecticut.

"As a junior for Cheshire, Croucher played nine games and threw for 1,692 yards and 16 touchdowns to six interceptions but looked to the Baylor School for an opportunity to fully showcase his talent. And there’s plenty of it.

"The 6-foot-4, 200-pounder was another big rankings mover this offseason, and the Rebels are trying to hold off Georgia, Kentucky and a handful of others looking to flip him."

Now, as the coveted signal-caller prepares for his final season of prep ball, all eyes are on Croucher with the Ole Miss commitment quickly gaining national attention.
