Ole Miss football loses two commitments, including four-star wide receiver Jerome Myles

OXFORD ― Ole Miss football looked like it had gotten in ahead of the curve on Class of 2025 receiver Jerome Myles.

The native of Draper, Utah, is considered a four-star prospect by the 247Sports Composite and committed to Ole Miss in April. He’s picked up steam since then, even earning five-star status from 247Sports’ individual evaluators.

But on Monday, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound Myles announced he’s opening his recruitment back up.

“I would like to thank Ole Miss and Coach (George) McDonald for the time and effort they put into recruiting me and for welcoming me with open arms,” he wrote on social media. “However, after much consideration, I would like to announce that I am decommitting from (Ole Miss) and will be reopening my recruitment.”

The 247Sports Composite rates Myles as the No. 228 player in his class, and the No. 27 wideout. According to 247Sports, he has visited Utah and Texas A&M in the last month.

And Myles’ departure wasn’t the only bad news for the Rebels on the recruiting trail.

Three-star linebacker Corey Amos also decommitted. The 6-2, 200-pound product of Opelousas High School in Louisiana is ranked as the No. 421 recruit nationally.

Following both departures, Ole Miss’ 2025 class sits at 10 members.
