New On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine pick for Ole Miss

The end of June was not kind to Ole Miss. But, Lane Kiffin and Co., have responded well. The Rebels landed four-star safety Cortez Thomas and three-star wide receiver Samari Reed this week and could be poised to add another.

IMG Academy (Fla.) safety Major Preston will announce his commitment Saturday between Colorado, Florida, Ole Miss and Virginia Tech. The Hopewell (Va.) prospect took his final two OVs to Ole Miss and Virginia Tech and this could come down to the Rebels and Hokies.

Can the Rebs stay hot and land its 12th commit in the 2025 class?

I have entered an Ole Miss commitment prediction for Preston with a 60 percent confidence level.

The Rebels are looking to reload a secondary which is very experienced and littered with seniors and grad transfers. It’s imperative to restock your position groups every year and Ole Miss knows it will need to do this in the portal as well as the high school level.

Preston has developed a great relationship with Pete Golding, Wes Neighbors and Bryan Brown. The Hokies have the home state pull, but the Rebels’ newfound CFP hype, national brand and Lane Kiffin’s “pro mindset” seems to give the Rebs the edge.

The 2025 class is currently No. 26 in On3’s Football Team Recruiting Rankings.

The blue chip rating is down to 36 percent, but Kiffin’s group is starting to show some punch. Preston is a defensive prospect and would be the 8th commit on Golding’s side of the ball. His position versatility bodes well for him to find some early playing time if he were to pick Ole Miss.
