UCF linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste committed to Ole Miss Thursday night, becoming the first transfer portal acquisition for the Rebels this offseason. A member of Central Florida’s 2019 class, Jean-Baptiste has been a four-year contributor for the Golden Knights, and comes to Ole Miss with one year of eligibility left. Listed at 6’2 and 230lbs, Jean-Baptiste had 52, 51, and 37 tackles over the past three seasons. He was UCF’s 3rd-leading tackler this year. SBNation’s UCF blog Black & Gold Banneret described Jean-Baptiste this preseason as the “anchor” of the team’s linebacker corps, as a team captain and the team’s returning leader in tackles.
