Jaron Willis took the top spot as the highest ranked recruit in this year’s Ole Miss signing class, so far. He committed to the Rebels live on CBS Sports Wednesday afternoon for the first day of the early signing period.

He is ranked the nation’s No. 17 linebacker and No. 170 player according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. The Leesburg, GA native is the highest rated linebacker commit for the Rebels since 2017 when Breon Dixon signed.
