Kermit Davis achieves best recruiting class since 2012

Kermit Davis wasted no time after his March hiring in building his first recruiting class as the Rebels’ head coach. He lost four key seniors this off-season: Deandre Burnett, Markel Crawford, Marcanvis Hymon and Justas Furmanavicius, but Davis feels confident heading into the new school year.

He summed up his off-season rather simply.

“It has been a quick summer but a productive summer,” Davis said.

After spending 16 years building Middle Tennessee State into an NCAA tournament caliber program, Davis made an immediate impact on the Ole Miss recruiting trail when he brought two former MTSU commits down to Oxford with him.
