Matthew Ruel (2016) commits to Ole Miss

Matthew Ruel, a 17-year-old from Oldsmar, Fla., gave his verbal commitment to Ole Miss last week.

The 2016 recruit, ranked 67th in his class by Golfweek, also visited Auburn, North Florida, South Alabama and South Florida. He was offered by those schools, as well as Gonzaga and Loyola-Chicago, and received other interest from Arizona, Mississippi State and Coastal Carolina.

"I picked Ole Miss for a few reasons," Reul told Golfweek. "Coach (Chris) Malloy is building a team that has the potential to compete for national championships. They have great facilities and they are expanding next summer so they'll be even better.
