BREAKING: Five-Star WR Caleb Cunningham Flips from Alabama to Ole Miss
In a stunning turn of events, five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham has decommitted from the Alabama Crimson Tide and committed to the Ole Miss Rebels. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound prospect from Ackerman, Mississippi, had been a cornerstone of Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class since July 2024 .
A Homecoming to Oxford
Cunningham’s decision to flip came after a memorable visit to Oxford, where he witnessed the Rebels’ impressive victory over the Georgia Bulldogs. During his visit, Cunningham was seen engaging with fans and signing autographs, signaling a strong connection with the Ole Miss community .
Reflecting on his choice, Cunningham expressed his desire to “be the face of Mississippi” and emphasized that Ole Miss could “get me to the league, no question about it” . His commitment adds significant momentum to Lane Kiffin’s 2025 recruiting class, which now includes four ESPN 300 prospects, three of whom are from Mississippi .
Impact on Alabama’s Recruiting Class
Cunningham’s decommitment is a notable setback for Alabama’s recruiting efforts. Despite this, the Crimson Tide remain a formidable force in the 2025 recruiting cycle, holding the No. 1 spot in ESPN’s team rankings .
Looking Ahead
With Cunningham’s commitment, Ole Miss has secured one of the nation’s top wide receiver prospects. His blend of size, speed, and playmaking ability is expected to make an immediate impact in the SEC. As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Cunningham as he looks to fulfill his potential and lead the Rebels to new heights.
