5-star kicker Caden Costa commits to Ole Miss over Colorado and LSU

It didn’t take long.

Just thirty minutes after Ole Miss’ 2021 class lost a valuable piece when Oxford, Miss. kicker Jack Tannehill announced he was re-opening his recruitment and backing off his commitment to Lane Kiffin, special teams coach Blake Gideon added another.

Five-star kicker and punter Cade Costa announced on Twitter a short time after that he was ending his recruitment and was verbally committing to the Rebels. The Mandeville, La. native chose Ole Miss over offers from Air Force, Army, Louisiana, Penn, and UConn and heavy interest from Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia Tech, LSU, Louisiana Tech, Memphis, Rice, Rutgers, Tulane, and Virginia Tech.
