LUKE FAHEY: Ole Miss vs. Cal

Auburn and Washington have been two others heavily mentioned by the 2026 four-star quarterback from Mission Viejo, Calif., but until either program gets more traction with Fahey this feels like a two-team race.

Fahey has loved his interactions with Lane Kiffin, Charlie Weis Jr. and the entire staff in Oxford plus he’s recruiting Mission Viejo four-star receiver teammate Vance Spafford to possibly join him there. Ole Miss has also made him a top priority as Kiffin visited Mission Viejo recently so there could be even more movement there as 2026 quarterbacks are coming off the board quickly.

But there remains a lot of intrigue with Cal. It’s closer to home, he loves the staff in Berkeley and he could provide a spark that might be missing in that offense. Still, Fahey seems to be most intrigued by playing SEC ball and Ole Miss affords him that opportunity.
