Ole Miss Turns Heads in SEC West: ‘Tis the season for recruiting twists as we approach early signing day. The Rebels, with a 7-1 record and a No. 10 CFP ranking, are catching the eye of top 2024 athletes. Could Carrollton’s (Georgia) tight end, Caleb Odom, be one of them?
Returning for a second weekend to Oxford, this time for an official visit during the game vs. A&M, Odom has been committed to Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide since mid-July.

Caleb Odom on what stood out to him last Saturday:
Though committed to the Crimson Tide, Odom continues to draw interest from many schools. With 34 receptions for 551 yards and 8 touchdowns this season, he has played a crucial role in elevating his team to a 9-1 overall record and a 4-0 standing in Georgia Region 2AAAAAAA.
