Recruits announce decommitments after Luke’s firing

An earlier version of this story should have reported that Kentrel Bullock was a running back from Columbia, MS, not Columbus, MS.

Since Ole Miss announced Matt Luke would not return as the head football coach at Ole Miss, several recruits from the 2020 class — including four-star defensive back Eric Reed Jr. — have already flipped their commitment from the team less than 24 hours after the news.

Ole Miss held the No. 23 recruiting class in the country before firing Luke. With 18 days until the early signing period begins, a fleet of assistant coaches, unsure of their own futures, will try to salvage this year’s recruiting class.
