The narrative has been in full effect for quite some time now. Ole Miss has struggled mightily to sign big-time linebackers and the position has been one of need for the last several years. Despite signing some impressive three-stars with better than average offer sheets, the second level of the defense has been a weakness that is as glaring as can be.
Well, linebackers coach Jon Sumrall is aiming to fix this conundrum quick, fast, and in a hurry. And his latest addition could be the anchor he is looking for.
Three-star middle linebacker Eric Jeffries from Lafayette High School has verbally committed to the Ole Miss Rebels and I would imagine that Sumrall and the rest of the staff couldn’t be more happier.
