Five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham is ultimately staying home.

The Ackerman, Miss., native announced his commitment to Ole Miss from Alabama on Wednesday after hinting on social media earlier this week that a turnaround could be in the works.

Cunningham, the No. 16 player in the country and No. 2 wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite, visited Ole Miss over the weekend and was in attendance for the Rebels’ 28-10 win over Georgia. He was photographed signing autographs during the game and wasted no time in committing to Kiffin four days later.

Cunningham is now the headliner of the Rebels class and represents a major victory on the high school recruiting trail for Kiffin, known as the “Portal King” for his work in the transfer market. Cunningham, the No. 1 recruit in Mississippi, is after five-star linebacker Suntarine Perkins in the class of 2023 and four-star defensive back Kam Franklin in the last cycle became the third consecutive top prospect to commit to Ole Miss.

Ole Miss now has 10 blue-chip prospects among its 20 commitments. The Rebels’ class is ranked 16th nationally.
