First-year coach Hugh Freeze has announced 17 signees Wednesday in his first class at Ole Miss.
There was a signing day surprise for the Rebels, and it was a good one. Safety Trae Elston, an Under Armour All-American from Oxford, Ala., chose Ole Miss over LSU and Oklahoma State.
The headliners for the Rebels in this class are a pair of ESPNU 150 prospects, and both are from the state of Mississippi — defensive tackle Issac Gross of Batesville, Miss., and defensive end Channing Ward of Aberdeen, Miss. Ole Miss was also able to sign a junior college quarterback, Bo Wallace of East Mississippi Community College. Wallace is already enrolled and will participate in spring practice. He's one of four players who enrolled early.
Running back I'Tavius Mathers of Murfreesboro, Tenn., rushed for more than 4,800 yards and 56 touchdowns the last two seasons.
