It has been a slow recruiting year so far with the NCAA investigation looming over Oxford and a disappointing 2016 season that saw the Rebels go 5-7. But Hugh Freeze and Co. just got some good news with the addition of JUCO three-star dual-threat quarterback Jordan Ta’amu.
The New Mexico Military Institute signal caller is ranked as the third dual-threat quarterback in the JUCO ranks and the No. 1 prospect in New Mexico. His offer sheet shows an offer from the in-state Lobos as well as Southern Miss with interest growing from Hawaii, Oregon and Utah. As a sophomore at NMMI, Ta’amu threw for 3,014 yards and 38 touchdowns while also rushing for 328 yards and seven touchdowns.
