Jason Albritton, the electric wide receiver and fan-favorite of the Ole Miss Rebels, just made headlines for a move that has stunned fans, coaches, and analysts alike. Albritton has reportedly turned down not one, but two jaw-dropping Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals — a staggering $5.4 million combined — from powerhouse programs Auburn Tigers and Kansas State Wildcats.
Let that sink in: $5.4 million on the table… and he said no.
Why? Loyalty. Legacy. Love for Ole Miss.
Sources close to Albritton say the young star is committed to finishing what he started in Oxford. Despite the financial temptation, he’s determined to lead the Rebels to SEC dominance and cement his legacy not just as a star athlete, but as a true Rebel through and through.
“He’s not just chasing money,” said one team insider. “He’s chasing greatness — and he believes he’ll find it right here with Ole Miss.”
Fans flooded social media with reactions ranging from disbelief to admiration, praising Albritton’s rare loyalty in a time where massive NIL deals are shifting college football’s balance of power.
Could this be the beginning of a new wave of athletes choosing legacy over the dollar? Or is Jason Albritton simply built different?
One thing is for sure — the 2025 season just got a whole lot more interesting.
