In a brutal turn of events for the Ole Miss defense, four-star David Luafatasaga has flipped to Utah on National Signing Day, according to Yancy Porter. It's the third blow of the afternoon on that side of the ball: blue chip defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons and Jonathan Kongbo also spurned the Rebs, choosing Mississippi State and Tennessee, respectively.
Ole Miss needs linebackers in a bad way. C.J. Johnson, Denzel Nkemdiche, and Christian Russell all graduated this past year, leaving Demarquis Gates as the only linebacker on the Rebel roster with any real SEC-caliber playing experience.
