A couple of weeks ago, we previewed the state of Mississippi’s talented 2024 high school football signing class in a two-part series detailing the top offensive and defensive players. Ole Miss appears to have re-focused its efforts on recruiting at home for this recruiting cycle, having offered at least 20 Magnolia State prospects in the 2024 class. On Tuesday, the Rebs picked up their first commitment from within state lines, in Winona linebacker Fred Clark.
Just a short trip down Highway 82 from Starkville, tiny Winona is solidly in what most would consider Mississippi State territory, and the Bulldogs were after Clark as well, making his early commitment to Ole Miss that much more exciting.
