Along with Vanderbilt’s Mike Wright, Ole Miss is also reportedly hosting Purdue quarterback Brady Allen this weekend, according to On3.
Ole Miss will be hosting former Vanderbilt quarterback Mike Wright for an official visit this weekend. In three seasons with the Commodores, Wright has thrown for 2,067 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. The Fayetteville, Ga., native also amassed 905 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns in his time at Vanderbilt.
The former three-star recruit was rated as the No. 19 dual-threat quarterback in the 2020 signing class.
According to ESPN Insider Pete Thamel on College Gameday Monday morning, the Ole Miss Rebels are in the mix for former Oklahoma State standout quarterback, Spencer Sanders.
In his time at Oklahoma State 765 of 1,254 passes for 9.553 yards and 67 touchdowns with 40 interceptions in 44 career games. He also rushed 493 times for 1,956 yards and 18 touchdowns.
In 2022, Sanders completed 212 of 368 passes for 2,642 yards and 17 touchdowns with nine interceptions, as well as 107 carries for 391 yards and eight scores in 10 games.
Thamel’s news comes as a bit of a shock for Rebel fans, considering Jaxson Dart being firmly entrenched as the starter in 2022.
Ole Miss defensive back Kyndrich Breedlove has withdrawn from the transfer portal, according to On3.
Ole Miss has earned another commitment out of the transfer portal on Friday. Louisiana Tech Bulldogs wide receiver Tre Harris has announced his intention to transfer to Oxford.
In the 2022 season, Harris put up over 900 yards receiving and hauled in 10 touchdowns for the Bulldogs.
Defensive back John Saunders Jr. out of Miami (OH) has committed to the Rebels, he announced on Friday.
Mississippi State Bulldogs wide receiver Rara Thomas announced his decision to transfer to the Georgia Bulldogs on Thursday. He was courted on social media by various Ole Miss players after his decision to enter the portal.
The Ole Miss Rebels are reportedly one of a handful of teams that has been in communication with former No. 1 overall recruit Travis Hunter, who recently left Jackson State via the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Colorado, who hired former Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders, along with the Georgia Bulldogs, are the two teams who seem to be in the lead for Sanders.
But the Rebels are close behind.
“According to sources, Hunter has had conversations with multiple staffers at Georgia, including Kirby Smart,” On3’s Chad Simmons said. “Miami, Ole Miss, USC and some others are working to be considered, too. But Georgia and Colorado are the two to watch early.”
Hunter is an electric talent who plays on both sides of the ball at wide receiver and cornerback.
Over the weekend, Ole Miss hosted Miami (Ohio) transfer prospect John Saunders.
With multiple years of eligibility remaining, Saunders has started more than a dozen games at the FBS level. He has picked up five interceptions in that time.
Saunders reported an offer from Ole Miss over the weekend after a trip his father referred to as “special” in his social media post.
Former Texas A&M kicker Caden Davis officially announced Sunday that he would be transferring to Ole Miss. Davis will have two years of eligibility remaining with the SEC West program as a graduate transfer.
Davis was expected to replace Seth Small following the 2021 season. Instead, freshman Randy Bond took over full-time on field goals and point after attempts following Texas A&M’s Week 2 loss against Appalachian State. Last season, Davis went 1 of 3 on field goal attempts, drilling a 40-yard kick in the season opener against Sam Houston.
Ole Miss has landed a commitment from Joshua Harris, a transfer portal defensive lineman from NC State.
The first domino is in.
The college football world knows Lane Kiffin will continue to attack the transfer portal and Thursday night was the setting for the first victory in that light.
Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste, a 6-foot-2, 230-pound linebacker hailing from UCF, announced his commitment to the Ole Miss Rebels. It came on the heels of an official visit to Oxford.
Jean-Baptiste has appeared in 35 UCF games in his collegiate career, meaning he has a single year of eligibility remaining for the 2023 season. The south Florida native capped his Knights career with 152 tackles, including 14 for loss, two sacks and an interception before making the transfer to the SEC.
Ole Miss brought in a UCF transfer last cycle, too, in wide receiver Jaylon Robinson.
Ole Miss wide receiver Bralon Brown stated his intentions to enter the transfer portal on Tuesday afternoon.
Brown appeared in three games during the course of the 2022 season.

A pair of former Missouri City (Texas) Fort Bend Marshall stars could be on the verge of making their next college step together — and Ole Miss will host each for an official visit beginning Tuesday.
Former Texas A&M wide receiver Chris Marshall, who saw playing time as a true freshman in 2022, has been coveted in the NCAA transfer portal. Likewise for his prep teammate and New Mexico safety Adari Haulcy, also expected in Oxford Tuesday. On3 was first to report the news of the latest Rebel transfer targets.
Marshall was an SI99 recruit in the 2022 class with plenty of options, and he produced in spot duty in the fall with 11 receptions for 108 yards as a freshman. Haulcy was one of the best players on the New Mexico roster, earning select freshman All-America honors with 87 tackles and two interceptions in 2022.
Ole Miss defensive back Roman Rashada has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal after not seeing the field this fall. Rashada was signed out of JUCO during the offseason and was rated as a three-star recruit coming out of high school.
Roman is the older brother of 2023 four-star quarterback Jaden Rashada. The younger Rashada brother is currently committed to the Miami Hurricanes after being recruited by Lane Kiffin over the summer.
Ole Miss offensive lineman Hamilton Hall has also declared his intention to enter the transfer portal. Hall was a redshirt senior this fall, appearing in only two games. The Atlanta, Ga., native was a three-star recruit in Ole Miss’ 2018 signing class.
Ole Miss defensive back Miles Battle announced his intention to enter the portal on Thursday.
Battle served as both a wide receiver and DB in his time with the Rebels.
Two more Ole Miss Rebels entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Wednesday. Offensive lineman Jalen Cunningham and cornerback Kyndrich Breedlove have decided to test the transfer portal waters.
Cunningham was a three-star recruit in Ole Miss’ 2018 signing class and primarily served as a backup in his four seasons in Oxford.
Ole Miss has officially offered former Mississippi State receiver Rara Thomas. Thomas was the Bulldogs’ leading receiver this fall bringing in 44 receptions, 626 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns.
Lane Kiffin retweeted Thomas’ transfer portal announcement on Friday and many other Ole Miss players commented on the post in an effort to convince the wideout to become a Rebel.
The Rebels could certainly use Thomas’ deep-threat ability with senior receivers Jonathan Mingo and Malik Heath likely heading to the 2023 NFL Draft. Just like Thomas, Heath also spent his first two years playing for Mississippi State before deciding to enter the transfer portal in search of greener grass.
Could Ole Miss be in the process of landing another transfer wide receiver from the Mississippi State Bulldogs?
On Friday, Lane Kiffin retweeted an announcement from receiver Rara Thomas stating his intentions to enter the transfer portal.
It’s worth noting that last offseason, the Rebels secured Malik Heath from the Bulldogs out of the portal as well. Heath was the leading receiver for Ole Miss this season in terms of yards, putting up 834 paired with four touchdowns.
Defensive back Derek Bermudez announced his intention to enter the transfer portal this week. The Jacksonville, Fla., native saw action in one game this season when the Rebels took on the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville.
The latest player to announce a departure from Ole Miss football is former in-state recruit MJ Daniels.
The Lucedale, Miss. native is a sophomore defensive back who saw limited action in 2022 and appeared in five games as a true freshman in 2021.
Daniels will have two seasons of eligibility remaining, as he outlined in his portal post on social media Wednesday.
1. A third Monday portal entry has been announced by an Ole Miss player, this among the most anticipated in Luke Altmyer. From the moment he lost out on the quarterback battle, speculation surrounding the Starkville native has been steady.
2. Not only did Baltimore native Demon Clowney announce his intent to hit the portal next month, but another running back did in Isaiah Woullard.
Full story HERE.
3. The portal works both ways, and the 2022 season was evident in that regard for the Rebels. It’s something Coordinator of Recruiting Strategy Kelvin Bolden reemphasized on Monday morning.
Rebel reserve running back Kentrel Bullock, who was a part of a group of backs sitting behind the Quinshon Judkins-Zach Evans duo this fall, announced his departure from the future Ole Miss roster Sunday.
More HERE.
A reserve upperclassman from Montgomery, Ala., Brandon Mack has announced his plans to move on from Ole Miss. The defensive end made his move the day after the Egg Bowl defeat.
