BREAKING: Oregon Ducks Linebacker Bryce Boettcher Commits to Ole Miss Over Vanderbilt and Georgia
In a surprising turn of events, Oregon Ducks linebacker Bryce Boettcher has announced his commitment to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), bypassing offers from both Vanderbilt and Georgia. Boettcher, a highly sought-after recruit, made the decision after careful consideration of his options, ultimately choosing the Rebels due to their promising football program and the coaching staff’s vision for his development.
The 6’2″, 230-pound Boettcher has been a standout for Oregon, earning recognition for his athleticism, intelligence on the field, and leadership abilities. Known for his sideline-to-sideline speed and ability to read the opposing offense, Boettcher was a key contributor to Oregon’s defense last season. His decision to leave the Ducks is a significant loss for Oregon, but it comes as a major win for Ole Miss, who has been steadily building momentum in recruiting.
Boettcher was heavily recruited by multiple programs, including SEC heavyweights Georgia and Vanderbilt, but Ole Miss was able to pull ahead by emphasizing their defensive system, which Boettcher feels will maximize his skills. The Rebels’ coaching staff, led by head coach Lane Kiffin, has been making waves in recent recruiting cycles, and Boettcher’s commitment adds another key piece to their growing defensive unit.
Boettcher’s commitment is a notable win for Ole Miss as they look to strengthen their defense in the coming seasons. His choice to commit to the Rebels, along with his potential to impact the team immediately, has fans excited for the future of the program.
