Good News: Just In Ole Miss Rebels Football Win Another Commitment Of Top Talented 5-Star QB Over LSU, Georgia And FSU
The Ole Miss Rebels received a major boost to their 2026 recruiting class this week with the commitment of highly touted five-star quarterback prospect, Malik Harrison. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound signal caller from Dallas, Texas, announced his decision late Thursday evening, choosing Lane Kiffin’s program over powerhouse offers from LSU, Georgia, and Florida State. Harrison’s commitment immediately positions Ole Miss among the top classes in the nation and signals a new era of offensive firepower in Oxford.
Harrison, considered by many analysts as the best dual-threat quarterback in the class, was a priority target for nearly every major program in the country. With an elite combination of arm talent, athleticism, and football IQ, he has drawn comparisons to some of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the SEC. His decision to join the Rebels is not just a win for the program but a statement that Ole Miss is becoming a serious destination for the nation’s most elite recruits.
Sources close to the recruitment say Harrison was particularly impressed by Kiffin’s offensive system, which has consistently produced high-octane passing attacks and NFL-caliber quarterbacks. The opportunity to step into a scheme tailored to maximize a quarterback’s potential was a major factor in his choice. Additionally, Harrison reportedly built a strong relationship with quarterbacks coach Charlie Weis Jr., whose development track record also played a significant role in sealing the deal.
The commitment also represents a significant recruiting victory over several SEC rivals. LSU and Georgia were long considered favorites, with both schools heavily pursuing Harrison throughout the summer. Florida State made a strong late push as well, but Ole Miss’s relentless pursuit, creative vision for his future, and the chance to start early proved too enticing to turn down. It marks one of the biggest head-to-head recruiting wins for Kiffin since arriving in Oxford.
For the Rebels, Harrison’s commitment could have ripple effects beyond just the quarterback position. Top receivers and offensive linemen across the country often follow elite quarterbacks, and several highly ranked targets have already hinted that they are now giving Ole Miss stronger consideration. A top-tier quarterback is often the cornerstone of a championship-caliber class, and Harrison’s decision could help the Rebels attract even more blue-chip talent.
Harrison’s high school career has already been nothing short of spectacular. As a junior, he threw for over 3,800 yards and 42 touchdowns while rushing for an additional 600 yards and 10 scores. His ability to make plays both in the pocket and on the move makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses. Scouts rave about his poise under pressure and leadership qualities, traits that suggest he could compete for the starting job as early as his freshman season in Oxford.
With Harrison now in the fold, Ole Miss’s quarterback room looks set for the future, and fans have every reason to be excited. The Rebels have been steadily climbing the ranks under Kiffin, and this commitment further cements their place among the SEC’s elite programs. If Harrison lives up to the sky-high expectations surrounding him, Ole Miss could soon be competing not just for conference titles, but for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
