Ole Miss football is set to add at least one more player to its 2026 recruiting class.
Although the vast majority of signings across the country happen during the early signing period on Dec. 3, the Rebels have received one more commitment. The next signing period is Feb. 4.
Jamarion Owens committed to Ole Miss on Jan. 12. He is a three-star defensive lineman from Raleigh High School. Owens, who is 6-foot-2, 270 pounds, was named the MHSAA 3A Mr. Football winner.
Ole Miss added 20 high school players on early signing day. It amounted to the No. 22 class nationally in the 247Sports Composite, and the No. 10 class in the SEC.
Coach Pete Golding kept former coach Lane Kiffin's pattern of doing much of his roster construction through the transfer portal. The Rebels added 29 recruits that way, including former Cal linebacker Luke Ferrelli and Syracuse wide receiver Darrell Gill. Ole Miss' transfer portal haul ranks No. 2 nationally behind LSU.
Here's what Owens will add for the Rebels, and how the incoming Ole Miss class is shaping up.
Where Jamarion Owens fits on Ole Miss football depth chart
Owens is an accomplished high school player in Mississippi.
He won the MHSAA 3A state championship with Raleigh over Noxubee County on Dec. 6. Owens was originally committed to Louisiana, but he decommitted on Nov. 10.
Owens is one of five defensive lineman in the 2026 high school signing class. Three of those players — Landon Barnes, Carmelow Reed and Emanuel Tucker — are four-star recruits.
Ole Miss brought in five defensive lineman in the transfer portal, so Owens will be competing for snaps against older players in a crowded room.
