4-star WR Miguel Whitley commits to Ole Miss
New Orleans St. Augustine four-star wide receiver Miguel Whitley has committed to Ole Miss, per Rivalsβ Hayes Fawcett.
He chose the Rebels over LSU in another big recruiting win for Pete Golding and Co. Tennessee and Arkansas were also in the mix for the coveted pass-catcher.
Whitley is the No. 205 overall prospect and No. 30 WR in the 2027 cycle, according to theΒ Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. Heβs also the No. 7 player in Louisiana.
Rivals ranks Whitley higher than other recruiting services. He checks in as the No. 66 recruit and No. 11 receiver in the recently-updated 2027 Rivals300.
The 5-foot-11.5, 185-pounder began to trend toward the Rebels earlier this month and he was back in town this weekend. Heβs leaving the Magnolia State as the SEC programβs latest commitment.
βWhen I went there, I met with DK (Metcalf), so just seeing that really opened my eyes β¦ seeing the biggest of the biggest come from that school,β Whitley told Rivalsβ Sam Spiegelman earlier this spring. βItβs like a blueprint.β
As a junior for St. Augustine, one of the top high school programs in The Boot, Whitley caught 46 passes for 869 yards and 14 touchdowns, according to MaxPreps. Heβs gearing up for a monster senior campaign.
Ole Miss is heating up on the trail heading into the summer and it now has 12 total commits. The class ranks inside the top 20 of the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.
