Texas A&M still leads, but Ole Miss and others ‘pushing hard’ for 2025 four-star Kevin Oatis
Kevin Oatis — the No. 4 player in Mississippi for the 2025 class — named a leader in his recruitment two weeks ago.
“Texas A&M is my top school right now,” Oatis told On3’s Sam Spiegelman. “That’s a family-oriented school. I’m big on family. I’m a family man, and every time I come down there I feel like I’m at home.”
July 4th has arrived, and the Aggies are still out in front for Oatis — ranked by the On3 Industry Ranking as a four-star and the nation’s No. 104 overall player. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s the No. 11 defensive lineman.
“A&M is still my top school,” Oatis confirmed to the Ole Miss Spirit Monday night. “(Texas A&M), LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Michigan are pushing for me hard right now.”

Oatis has been on a number of visits the last few months.
He checked out Ole Miss for a spring scrimmage in April — one of the many treks to Oxford he’s made since his recruitment really started heating up. He’s seen Florida, too. He’s camped at LSU. He’ll go back to LSU this month, and Oatis has scheduled trips to Florida State and Texas A&M.
“LSU was my favorite school,” growing up, Oatis said, in a previous interview with On3.
But the Rebels are still right in the thick of things.
Actually, Ole Miss, despite all the recent surges from competing schools, continues to hold as the On3 RPM (Recruiting Prediction Machine) favorite to land him. The Rebels are pulling in 49.5 percent of expert predictions. LSU (15.4 percent) is second, followed by Texas A&M (13.2 percent).
Basically, there’s a long ways to go yet. Many twists and turns to come. This is recruiting, after all.
At least Oatis knows one thing, for sure.
“I’ll make my decision the start of my senior year,” he said.
And Ole Miss isn’t going away.
“I’ve been talking to the coaches,” Oatis said. “I haven’t been able to go lately because of other things I have had planned, but I want to come back ASAP.”
