The future of Hugh Freeze’s Ole Miss offense will, in part, be decided on Dec. 27. That’s when the country’s No. 1 running back prospect, Cam Akers, will make his highly-anticipated public commitment, according to a video tweeted out Tuesday night.
The announcement will be streamed live by the High School Football Network at 7 p.m. CT. The five-star, do-it-all running back was originally expected to make his announcement during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 7.
Akers is the potential savior for a 2017 Rebel class that currently ranks 47th in the country thanks to never-ending NCAA investigation.
