In a notable development for Ole Miss football, four-star wide receiver Jameson Powell from Folsom, California, has reaffirmed his commitment to the Rebels, choosing to remain with the program despite interest from several powerhouse schools. Powell, a top-100 prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, had previously committed to Ole Miss in January and has now shut down his recruitment, solidifying his decision to play under head coach Lane Kiffin.
Powell’s decision to stay committed comes amid a strong recruiting push by Ole Miss, which has been actively securing top talent for its future rosters. Alongside Powell, the Rebels have also received commitments from other highly regarded prospects, including wide receivers Corey Barber and Zion Legree.
This commitment is a significant boost for Ole Miss, as Powell is known for his exceptional athleticism and playmaking abilities on the field. His reaffirmation of commitment indicates a strong belief in the program’s direction and coaching staff.
While there have been reports of other recruits decommitting from Ole Miss, such as top recruit Bear McWhorter, Powell’s steadfast commitment showcases the program’s ability to retain top talent amid competitive recruiting landscapes.
As the Rebels continue to build their roster for the coming seasons, securing and maintaining commitments from high-caliber players like Powell will be crucial for their success in the highly competitive SEC.
