Richton Park (Ill.) Rich Township three-star EDGE Carmelow Reed has verbally committed to Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels, he revealed via social media on Monday.

Reed, who pledged to the Wisconsin Badgers in April, has now flipped his commitment to the Rebels following a multi-day stay in Oxford this past weekend.

The Top-100 defensive lineman comes in at 6-foot-7, 250 pounds heading into his senior campaign with a myriad of schools extending offers.

Now, it's the Ole Miss Rebels that win out for his services after successfully flipping the former Big Ten pledge.

“The people around the city absolutely love the school and the players playing for the school so that was good,” Reed told On3 Sports. “The staff was great, too. Like everybody was just awesome. I’m so excited about this.

“I loved the Ole Miss visit. The love I was being shown from everyone around was great and something I want to be a part of!”

The recruiting efforts of Ole Miss defensive line coach Randall Joyner ultimately paid off down the stretch in this one after keeping a foot on the gas for Reed's services despite a commitment to Wisconsin.

“He was a really good coach,” Reed said. “He breaks down the game of football to where if you’re a bystander you’ll understand it and he’s really energetic.”

Last season, Reed logged 33 total tackles with five sacks as a junior, but the expectation remains that his ceiling is sky high.

With a 6-foot-7, 250-pound frame, Reed's physical tools have the Rebels and other programs across America salivating at what's to come.
