As Ole Miss recruiting efforts pick up late in the year, the Rebels end up in the top-4 of 3-star defensive end Ryan Thaxton.
Thaxton is a 6-foot-5 250 LB defensive end from Alexandria, VA.
Thaxton announced his top-4 from his Twitter account. Joining Ole Miss would be Rutgers, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt in no order.
Ole Miss is hoping that they can get in late with Thaxton.
He has yet to visit Ole Miss, but the Rebels offered him on December 5th, which is late for a football offer.
The Rebels will need to grab some guys for the defensive line in 2018 after they lose Marquis Haynes and possibly Breeland Speaks.
