The future of Ole Miss football might just rest in the hands of a 4,475-yard gunslinger—and he’s all in. This standout QB has been committed to the Rebels since April, following an eye-opening unofficial visit. And the bond? It only grew stronger. In his own words: “I started off with a list of Top 10 schools, really had no clue about these schools, did some research on all of them and kind of got down to a Top 3 and Ole Miss was on it. Started to fall in love before I even got there.” Now, he’s back in Oxford and still locked in. With Jaxson Dart moving on, this could be the next chapter in Lane Kiffin’s quarterback legacy.
On June 22, Billy Embody reported that Ole Miss QB commit Rees Wise made his way back to Oxford—this time for his official visit. The Austin (Tex.) Westlake standout is no stranger to the program, but now it’s getting real. Wise spent the weekend diving deeper into the Rebel playbook and getting another up-close look at how Ole Miss QBs prepare. It’s not his first visit—and definitely not his last taste of what’s to come. “I love the staff so much. I love the QB development there,” Wise shared. With every trip, his bond with the program grows stronger. The Rebels might just have their next leader under center.

Rees Wise didn’t just tour Oxford—he lived the life of an Ole Miss quarterback. The experience was hands-on, high-energy, and eye-opening. “You have every opportunity there, everything to use, all the stuff. I got to do all the routines with them. I got up at 7 in the morning to be at the facilities at 7:15 to go do 1-on-1s with coach Judge and Austin Simmons. Do a little walk through of practice, go through all that. It’s hard to fail there when you’re a QB,” Wise said. From early grind sessions to inside looks at the playbook, the rising QB got the full experience. And clearly, the Rebel system left its mark.
