June 04, 2025 TRENDING: Ole Miss Recruiting Adds TOP Defensive Lineman | Tristen Keys

The Ole Miss Rebels added a big-time defensive lineman by flipping Carmelow Reed from the Wisconsin Badgers. Plus, Lane Kiffin and his coaching staff are hot on the trail of multiple big-play wide receiver recruits.
For the Rebels to finalize this recruiting class, having a College Football Playoff run will be vital. Beating teams like LSU and Georgia are part of the mission, and do not forget about Oklahoma in Norman; that is how Kiffin’s crew keeps recruits interested through National Signing Day.

May 30, 2025 RECRUITING SCORE! Georgia Adds Big-Play Wide Receiver
Georgia’s Kirby Smart landed talented wide receiver Ryan Mosley's commitment, and he could be the final receiver recruit needed to propel Georgia’s passing attack.
After a talented 2025 wide receiver recruiting haul, UGA’s 2026 class could be just as good; Mosley’s addition brought size, athleticism, and route running ability. The Portal Podcast projected how Mosley could help the other receiver recruits – and the Bulldogs’ rushing attack – be even better.
