National Signing Day is somewhat of a holiday for the Oxford community. The Ole Miss Athletic Department and local businesses are gearing up to celebrate the newest members of Ole Miss football.
According to Offensive Lineman Jordan Sims, current players and coaches gather alongside Ole Miss boosters and alumni in the Indoor Practice Facility together to watch players sign and commit on a big screen.
“We don’t really get nervous,” Sims said. “It’s more of an anxious feeling because of course there are guys that we want, and then there are the guys that come here who may not be heavily recruited but turn out to work hard and be great players.
