Ole Miss received good news on Thursday night when ESPN 300 quarterback Matt Corral announced he was flipping his commitment from Florida to the Rebels. The Long Beach, California, prospect had recently visited Ole Miss and made his decision to switch schools and sign early on Dec. 20.
Corral's recruitment has taken a winding path, starting with a commitment to USC that ended with a departure from the Trojans' class. The No. 90-ranked prospect then committed to previous Florida coaches Jim McElwain and Doug Nussmeier in June.
When the Gators fired McElwain and brought in Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen, known for his quarterback development, Corral initially said he would stick with his commitment and was looking forward to hearing from the new coach.
