Ole Miss football is now officially home to three dual-sport stars. Four-star Bergen Catholic (N.J.) defensive tackle Tywone Malone joins Jerrion Ealy and John Rhys Plumlee now that he has signed his letter of intent with Lane Kiffin and the Rebels.
The country’s No. 64 overall prospect chose Ole Miss over notable offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, and Texas A&M among several others.
Co-defensive coordinator Chris Partridge and defensive graduate assistant were both instrumental in the signing of the Bergen Catholic star. Malone battled injuries as a senior, making just 12 tackles, 3.
