The Rebels land one of the top players in Mississippi.

The Ole Miss Rebels landed a notable addition to their 2025 recruiting class Monday afternoon, as the program secured a commitment from talented in-state defensive lineman Andrew Maddox.

Commitment No. 12 of the cycle for Ole Miss, Maddox is rated as a four-star defensive lineman in the 2025 class out of in-state Oak Grove High School in Mississippi. Maddox also ranks as the nation’s No. 183 overall player in the class according to the 247Sports Composite, as well as the No. 22 defensive lineman and the No. 7 player in the state of Mississippi.

As for the Rebels class now, Maddox is the first defensive line commitment of the cycle, and has the potential to see the field early in his Ole Miss career.

The commitment of Maddox also continues what has been an impactful cycle for Ole Miss so far when it comes to in-state recruiting. With Maddox now a part of the class, three of the top seven players in Mississippi this cycle are now committed to Ole Miss.
