Sip Made Sip Stayed”: Ole Miss Rebels Land Five-Star Recruit Wide Receiver Caleb Cunningham After De-committing From the Alabama Crimson Tide
In a stunning turn of events, five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham has officially de-committed from the Alabama Crimson Tide and pledged his commitment to the Ole Miss Rebels. The 6’4″, 200-pound receiver from Montgomery, Alabama, had been one of the top prospects in the 2025 recruiting class and had long been committed to Alabama. However, his recent decision to flip and choose Ole Miss has sent shockwaves through the college football recruiting landscape.
Cunningham, widely regarded as one of the top wide receiver prospects in the country, was a key part of Alabama’s recruiting class, but his de-commitment had been speculated for weeks, with Ole Miss emerging as the clear frontrunner. The Rebels, led by head coach Lane Kiffin, have consistently been a contender in the race for top talent, and this latest win adds another marquee name to their already impressive recruiting class.
Cunningham’s decision to choose Ole Miss over Alabama is significant for several reasons. First, it shows the growing appeal of Kiffin’s offense, which has produced some of the nation’s most explosive wide receivers in recent seasons. Additionally, Cunningham’s decision strengthens Ole Miss’s position as a recruiting powerhouse in the SEC, further enhancing their ability to compete with traditional juggernauts like Alabama, Georgia, and LSU.
For Alabama, Cunningham’s de-commitment is a setback, but their recruiting efforts are unlikely to slow down. The Crimson Tide still have one of the top-ranked recruiting classes in the nation. However, Ole Miss fans are ecstatic, as they now have a potential game-changer in Cunningham, who is expected to make an immediate impact upon arriving in Oxford.
Cunningham’s commitment marks a significant moment in the 2025 recruiting cycle, one that further fuels excitement for the future of Ole Miss football.
