Cedrick Nicely received his offer just two days ago, but that was all he needed.
The three-star offensive tackle pulled the trigger and verbally committed to the Rebels on Friday, choosing Ole Miss over notable offers from Georgia Tech, South Carolina, and South Florida. The Gainesville, Ga. native brings some beef to an offensive line that is starting to come into its own in Jeff Lebby’s power spread scheme, powering sophomores Snoop Conner and Jerrion Ealy to early success in 2020.
Nicely plays 7A football in Georgia so the competition is certainly there every Friday and the big-bodied senior is certainly someone that Lebby and offensive line coach Randy Clements pinpointed and prioritized during their evaluations.
