Ole Miss Football Signs Prized Defensive Weapon Over Minnesota Gophers on Signing Day

Hazlehurst (Miss.) linebacker Tre Ellis revealed a commitment to Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels on Jan. 12 where he has now officially signed with the program, the university revealed on Thursday.

Ellis has quickly made a name for himself in the Magnolia State after earning offers from the likes of Arkansas State, Jackson State and South Alabama, among others, across his prep career.

The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder has emerged on the recruiting trail with the Rebels striking as the first Southeastern Conference offer for Ellis last offseason - now inking a deal with the in-state program.

Ellis has now signed with the Ole Miss program as another critical piece to the future of the program in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle.
