The Ole Miss Rebels have scored a big win in recruiting, securing a commitment from 4-star defensive back Jaylan Morgan over in-state rivals Mississippi State Bulldogs. Morgan, one of the top defensive back prospects in the 2025 class, announced his commitment to Ole Miss, giving the Rebels a major boost in their secondary for future seasons.
Jaylan Morgan’s decision to join the Rebels was influenced by his strong connection with Ole Miss’s coaching staff and the opportunities within the program to make an immediate impact. Known for his impressive speed, agility, and ball-hawking abilities, Morgan was heavily pursued by Mississippi State and other SEC programs, but the Rebels’ pitch ultimately won him over.
In his announcement, Morgan expressed excitement about joining Ole Miss and playing in front of passionate Rebel fans. “It’s been a dream to play college ball in the SEC, and Ole Miss feels like the right place for me to develop both on and off the field,” Morgan shared.
Morgan’s commitment is a significant addition to the Rebels’ 2025 recruiting class, as he brings both athleticism and versatility to the secondary. Morgan’s skill set allows him to play in various roles, from cornerback to safety, making him a valuable asset for defensive schemes. His decision to join Ole Miss signals the program’s growing appeal and ability to land top-tier talent from within Mississippi.
For Mississippi State, Morgan’s decision to commit to their in-state rival is a tough loss. The Bulldogs were eager to keep the highly-rated DB in Starkville, but Ole Miss’s recruiting efforts and Morgan’s fit with their program turned the tide in the Rebels’ favor.
