Jett Goldsberry: 4-star ATH [Commit]

Lincoln City (Ind.) Heritage Hills three-star athlete Jett Goldsberry was back in Oxford on Saturday after committing to Ole Miss in July.

Goldsberry, the No. 1 rated athlete in Indiana, chose the Rebels over the North Carolina Tar Heels, West Virginia Mountaineers, Rutgers Scarlet Knights and Wake Forest Demon Deacons down the stretch of his process.

“I really love the past couple seasons of football there. The coaches are top tier in Lane Kiffin, Pete Golding and Wes Neighbors. I just love the culture,” Goldsberry said before announcing his pledge.

“Also, just the way the vibe and energy feels here and how close together the staff is. Everything here is just very put together and has a good structure to it.”

The 6-foot, 195-pounder threw for 1,807 yards and 26 touchdowns to just four interceptions as a quarterback for his high school squad.
