Committed to Ole Miss
Ole Miss: "I made
a trip last season to watch one of their games. I liked the atmosphere around
there, and then I got to meet the new coaches when I went over there a couple
of weeks ago. I liked the defensive coordinator the most, and that is what made
me go with Ole Miss since that is who I will be working with the most.. Coach
