Hugh Freeze and Co. steal another one from Starkville after Gay verbally commits to the Rebs.
Ole Miss secured a commitment from Josh Clarke earlier this week and now they're continuing to put an emphasis on the position by securing a commitment from four-star Willie Gay. The Starkville native committed to the Rebs via Twitter and is now the seventh commit in the 2017 class.
Gay was always thought to be a Mississippi State lean during his recruitment (as high as 70 percent on his 247Sports' Crystal Ball) but Ole Miss and Dave Wommack stayed vigilante throughout his recruitment.
