Southern Miss made a big recruiting splash Monday.

Meridian defensive end Deuntra Hyman (6-5, 230), an Ole Miss commitment since May 2017, flipped to the Golden Eagles after taking an official visit to Hattiesburg.

The 3-star prospect, who made 83 tackles (including 10 sacks) as a senior for the Wildcats, is the third defensive lineman to either sign with or commit to Southern Miss this offseason. Defensive end Ethan Edmondson and defensive tackle Von’Darius Freeman signed with the Golden Eagles in December.
