2026 Austin (Tex.) Westlake quarterback\u00a0Rees Wise<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has committed to\u00a0Ole Miss<\/strong><\/a>, he announced on Monday. The three-star prospect unofficially visited Oxford this weekend and committed to Lane Kiffin on the trip.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started off with a list of Top 10 schools, really had no clue about these schools, did some research on all of them and kind of got down to a Top 3 and Ole Miss was on it. Started to fall in love before I even got there,\u201d Wise told On3. \u201cFirst visit was absolutely amazing. Coach (Alex) Brown moved there while I was making the list and now he\u2019s a coach there. It just became my dream school once I visited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis and analyst Joe Judge were a huge piece of the puzzle for Wise when it came to making his decision. He enjoyed spending his time with both coaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love picking his (Judge\u2019s) brain, my dad loves hearing all the stories from the teams he used to play on,\u201d Wise said. \u201cCoaching under Bill Belichick, getting to work with Tom Brady. He\u2019s been there for so long and has so much experience. It\u2019s so nice to have that as a coach because he explains it so easily to you and you\u2019re able to learn it very fast and in an advanced way. You got coach Weis as well. He is so smart. I love him. He\u2019s a very good dude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ole Miss wide receiver commit Jameson Powell<\/a><\/strong> was on the visit and the pair are already building a bond.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was awesome. He\u2019s a really athletic dude,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s really chill. I really liked getting to talk to him. He\u2019s a slot receiver and it was really fun. Excited to get to play with him later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wise\u2019s visit once again stood out to him. <\/p>\n

\u201cI absolutely loved it,\u201d Wise said. \u201cSame as last time. It was perfect. Visited in the fall so I didn\u2019t get to see it at its full potential, but the spring, came up and the campus was amazing. I kept comparing it to the Masters, that\u2019s how pretty it was. All the flowers and trees, stuff like that. Got to meet a lot more coaches than last time. Really enjoyed that. Staff was amazing. Got to talk to Kiffin a little bit. I just really loved the staff and everything about it. Really cool for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wise got an up close look at the Ole Miss quarterbacks and how they prepare. He spent time with starting quarterback Austin Simmons and Judge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the staff so much. I love the QB development there,\u201d Wise said. \u201cYou have every opportunity there, everything to use, all the stuff. I got to do all the routines with them. I got up at 7 in the morning to be at the facilities at 7:15 to go do 1-on-1s with coach Judge and Austin Simmons. Do a little walk through of practice, go through all that. It\u2019s hard to fail there when you\u2019re a QB.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next for the Texas prospect? Wise is ready to focus on his senior season and capturing a state championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to focus on myself so I don\u2019t have to worry about other stuff now,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m committed to Ole Miss and not going on any more visits. I\u2019m gonna take my team to state and we\u2019re going to win this time so we don\u2019t have to have that feeling again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI gotta be a really big leader this year. We\u2019ve got a new team this year. Two or three move-ins. We lost a lot of our seniors last year, both offense and defense. I gotta make plays and take our offense all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0On3 Industry Ranking<\/a>, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Wise is the No. 31 overall quarterback in the country and No. 72 prospect in Texas. Wise has official visits set to Arizona and Ole Miss for this summer.<\/p>\n
