Alabama, Clemson, Mississippi State and Ole Miss made the final cut for Jerrion Ealy, and a golden football brought his decision.
Ealy stood up from his table and unofficially snagged the first catch of his college career. The 5-star running back then revealed an Ole Miss hat.
Normally, a player of his caliber would be met with raucous cheers and unrestrained joy. After all, the Rebels regained the prized commit of their 2019 class. Ealy gave a verbal pledge to the program in December 2017 but backed off less than a month before national signing day.
