Both Kalen DeBoer and Lane Kiffin’s programs are coming off dominant victories heading into the final stretch of the SEC season. However, the coaches recently got news that could only make one of them happy. In a turn of events, one of the top recruits in the 2025 class has gone back on his commitment to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alabama">Alabama</a> and instead opted to join Ole Miss.



The Rebels and the Crimson Tide are both expected to make the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">College Football</a> Playoffs. Neither school can be upset with the way their season has gone so far. However, one standout recruit has made a decision based on what program he sees better off.



Five-star WR Caleb Cunningham had committed to the Crimson Tide in July. However, shortly after Ole Miss’ statement triumph over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA’s</a> powerhouse Georgia, the star recruit from Ackerman, Mississippi opted to join his homestate school.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ole-miss">Ole Miss</a> signs a standout talent for the upcoming years and the program hopes they can develop him into a top prospect, as they have recently done with stellar Tre Harris.

The Tide, on the other hand, will reminisce about letting the commit slip away. However, their WR room is looking very promising heading into the near future. Seventeen-year-old Ryan Williams has become one of the best wideouts in the league in only his sophomore season, so <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kalen-deboer">DeBoer</a> and the Alabama staff can be confident in their weapons.

<h2>Cunningham stats and personal info</h2>



Caleb Cunningham is one of the best wideouts in the upcoming recruit class. The talented WR stands at 6’1” and weighs 190 pounds. He currently plays for Choctaw County High School. He plays basketball and competes at track and field, as well. 



“Unstoppable in red-zone situations. Strong-handed in traffic. Runs hard in run-after-catch situations and bowls his way through arm tackles,” A 247Sports analyst stated. “Natural route sense and spatial awareness. Projects as a high-major impact player with a long-term ceiling that could lead to NFL Draft consideration.“



Decommitting from the school in Tuscaloosa could be a pivotal decision in Cunningham’s future, as well as for DeBoer and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lane-kiffin">Kiffin</a> thinking ahead into the upcoming years at the helm of their programs.

The Ole Miss Rebels took down the juggernaut Georgia Bulldogs and shook the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> landscape. After the game, the Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin made a big admission on his desire to take down Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs.



The Rebels have been one of the best teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a>, this season. Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss has put on a strong campaign in the jam-packed SEC. However, Kiffin admitted there was one particular game circled in red on the calendar. And when the time came, the Rebels were ready for it.



“Even though we won 11 games last year, we wanted to beat Georgia,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lane-kiffin">Kiffin</a> said. “Georgia beat us pretty good there a year ago and the feeling of seeing that, the feeling of how that game went and being bullied around in really the line of scrimmages, classic Georgia, what they do to a lot of people.”



This time around, Ole Miss got the better of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirby-smart">Smart</a> and Georgia. It wasn’t luck. In fact, it was a win one year in the making. Kiffin admitted the Rebels changed their whole look after the Dawgs humbled them last season.

<h2>Won the battle on the trenches</h2>



After the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/georgia-bulldogs">Bulldogs</a> crushed the Rebels 52-17 in 2023, Kiffin made a pivotal decision. Ole Miss faced two options, either reshape themselves or stay under Georgia’s heel. They wisely chose the former, and one year later, the results are clear.

“We changed the size of our line of scrimmages, the twitch of our defensive ends in order to pass rush against them,” said Kiffin. “But we also game planned against Georgia a lot in the off-season. So it wasn’t a speech, it wasn’t even stuff that was done that week. We spent a lot lot of time leading up to this game schematically as coaches to prepare for it also.”



The changes to the line of scrimmages paid dividends. Kiffin’s defense sacked Georgia QB Carson Beck five times, while Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart was only sacked once.



The tables turned: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ole-miss">Ole Miss</a> embarrassed Georgia and caused them to fall off the Top-10 on the AP Poll. To add insult to injury, the No. 10 Rebels now look at the No. 11 Dawgs from above in the standings.

Another victory for Ole Miss, this time over the Georgia Bulldogs, firmly positions Lane Kiffin’s team among the contenders with serious aspirations this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">NCAAF</a> season. Initially overlooked at the start of the year, Jaxson Dart now warns the rest of the teams that his Rebels still have plenty to prove.



Each time a new College Football season kicks off, it’s often the same programs that come to mind when thinking about title contenders. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ole-miss">Ole Miss</a>, considered this year by themselves as the underdogs, have gradually racked up a series of victories and are now firmly in the mix of teams with serious postseason aspirations.



Jaxson Dart, the talented QB on Lane Kiffin’s roster, had a standout performance as his team defeated Georgia decisively 28-10. After the game, the player delivered a clear message to the rest of their rivals looking ahead to what’s to come.



“It feels great,” Dart said, via ESPN. “Everybody counted us out after the LSU game, but we feel like we’re a couple of plays away from being the No. 1 team in the country. We’re peaking and I think everybody sees that.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27155425/Jaxson-Dart-2-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Jaxson Dart" class="wp-image-269764" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Jaxson Dart #2 of the Mississippi Rebels warms up before the game against the Georgia Bulldogs at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium on November 09, 2024 in Oxford, Mississippi.</figcaption></figure>



In a dominant performance, QB Jaxson Dart accounted for 199 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also added a team-high 50 rushing yards on eight carries. There’s no doubt the player is enjoying a stellar season, and Rebels fans are certainly appreciative of his efforts.

<h2>Kiffin’s revenge against Georgia</h2>



The game against the Bulldogs was never going to be just another match for Ole Miss head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lane-kiffin">Lane Kiffin</a>. He made that clear from the start with a dominant performance from his players. After the Rebels secured the victory, it was the coach himself who shared his feelings of redemption.



“A year ago we lost to these guys by like 30. We made a decision, we’ve got to recruit differently. We’ve got to to go shopping. We planned for this game for a year, game-planned all offseason,” Kiffin said, per Pete Nakos of On3.



While the final result doesn’t determine the future for the Rebels, these victories are incredibly important, not only in terms of performance but also for morale, especially with the regular season nearing its end.

<h2>Ole Miss Rebels upcoming matches</h2>



A Bye Week is on the horizon for the Rebels, which comes at the perfect time to recharge and prepare for the final stretch of the season with the entire roster available physically.



Upon their return, Ole Miss will travel to Gainesville on Saturday, November 23, to face the Florida Gators. They will then close out their regular season on the road, heading to Oxford to take on Mississippi State, November 30th.

No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels hosts No. 3 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/georgia-bulldogs">Georgia Bulldogs</a> in a crucial game on their Playoffs aspirations. The Rebels 7-2 record is dragged down due to their 3-2 record within the SEC. Ahead of the pivotal matchup, head coach Lane Kiffin sent out a warning to his players on the importance of taking down Kirby Smart, and the Bulldogs in order to keep their season alive.



Ole Miss is on the outside looking in to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">College Football</a> Playoffs bracket. Georgia’s spot is virtually secured, albeit a disaster over the final four games of the NCAA season. 



The Rebels, on the other hand, have no margin for error and must ride unbeaten over the final stretch of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> year. Much easier said than done. Kiffin is well aware of the tall order ahead and has issued a warning to his players on facing Smart’s powerhouse program in Athens.



“They’re the premier program in college football,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lane-kiffin">Kiffin</a> said, per DawgsHQ. “But I told our players, anybody that’s going to win it is gonna have to go through Georgia at some point.“



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/27184313/GettyImages-2175375332-Futbolsites-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Head coach Kirby Smart of the Georgia Bulldogs" class="wp-image-241960" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Head coach Kirby Smart of the Georgia Bulldogs reacts during the second quarter against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium on September 28, 2024 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.</figcaption></figure>



“Outside of Alabama, they’ve won 51-straight games. Let me repeat that. 51-straight games. Not non-conference. Not in-conference. That’s 51, including playoffs, straight games. They’re loaded as always and playing really well. Went into Texas, who was the No. 1 team, and beat them. This is a big challenge for us.”

<h2>Ole Miss hoping for different outcome to last season’s</h2>



The last time these two schools met Georgia got the best of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ole-miss">Ole Miss</a> and handed them an embarrassing 52-17 loss. The Rebels are not the same team and this won’t be their first rodeo, however, facing the Dawgs will always be a demanding task. 



Although Georgia has looked dodgy on the offensive side of the ball, and Ole Miss is confident on their QB Jaxson Dart, when the Red and Black walk onto the field it can make anybody shake in his boots.



<h2>Kirby Smart on Dart, Rebels’ offense</h2>



Though the Bulldogs acknowledge they are the favorites going into Oxford, they won’t underestimate the Rebels. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirby-smart">Smart</a> is not looking to provide anything for Ole Miss’ bulletin board, either.



“I think Jaxson Dart is playing (like) probably one of the best quarterbacks playing in the country in terms of explosive plays,” Smart stated, via On3. “A lot of respect for how he competes. I mean, the guy runs extremely physical, like a SEC running back. He doesn’t try to avoid contact — he actually seeks it.”



Smart also took notice of Ole Miss’ defense: “Lane’s done an incredible job of getting talented players, big, physical. The improvement on defense for them is extremely noticeable. These guys are disruptive, powerful, fast, tons of sacks, tons of tackles for loss.“

Ole Miss started the season with an impressive seven-game winning streak and became a Top 10 ranked team in the nation. However, they finished the year with four losses in the last five weeks: LSU, Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi State. All hopes were derailed. Then, head coach Lane Kiffin got in a swirl of rumors pointing out that he could go to Auburn. Kiffin will stay with the Rebels. The Texas Bowl is a good chance to finish a bittersweet journey on a good note. Ole Miss lead the all-time series 4-2.
