Former Texas A&M quarterback commit announces his new school

Anthony Maddox, who decommitted from Texas A&M on Friday, announced on Saturday that he would play for a different SEC school.

Quarterback Anthony Maddox, a top Class of 2024 quarterback prospect, announced his commitment to Ole Miss just one day after he decommitted from Texas A&M, On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported.

The 6-foot-1 Mississippi native had been committed to the Aggies since February. He visited the Rebels last weekend just before he announced he would no longer play for Texas A&M.

ESPN is the recruiting site most bullish on Maddox, with the Oak Grove quarterback currently 212th in the site’s national class rankings and the No. 9 pocket passer in the class. Maddox is also considered a four-star prospect on rivals.com and 247Sports’ Composite Rankings. Both sites consider him among the 30 best quarterback prospects in the upcoming class.

Maddox will walk into a crowded quarterback room in Oxford. Starter Jaxson Dart will return for the 2024 season, and former five-star prospect Walker Howard will be the presumed backup in his redshirt sophomore next season.
