The Ole Miss Rebels won a recruiting battle over the Clemson Tigers this week with Dillon Alfred.
After he decommitted from the Rebels, Alfred announced that the two schools in the running for landing his talents were Ole Miss and the Clemson Tigers. The wideout took visits to both schools recently, and in an interview with“When I was at Clemson, I just kept thinking about Ole Miss,” Alfred said. “While on the visit, I was walking around the field trying to imagine myself there and it wasn’t the same vibe as I have had at Ole Miss.
Alfred is originally from Gautier, Miss., , so perhaps some local heartstrings played a part in his eventual decision to recommit to the Rebels. In the end, however, the effort of the Rebels' coaching staff and their history of producing NFL talent at his position sealed the deal. "Ole Miss has a history of producing wide receivers, and I feel like I can be a part of that," Alfred told
. "I can make an impact at Ole Miss. I've been around the wide receivers at Ole Miss a lot, and I feel like Ole Miss can help me get to the next level."John Macon Gillespie is the publisher of The Grove Report and has experience on the Ole Miss beat spanning five years.
