Defensive tackle Quentin Bivens became Ole Miss’ first member of its 2018 recruiting class when he announced his commitment to the school Saturday.
The 6-foot-3, 288-pound Bivens, from Waynesboro (Miss.) Wayne County, chose the Rebels over Southern Miss, which currently is his only other offer.
Bivens said he informed defensive line coach Freddie Roach, his primary recruiter, via text message of his commitment, then called head coach Hugh Freeze.
Bivens, who made an unofficial visit to Ole Miss on April 8 to attend the school’s spring game, also said he now considers his recruitment to be over.
