In His Words: "It just felt like home. I love the place. It’s just best offense for a receiver. They have a great quarterback in Shea Patterson, a great coach in Coach Freeze and they play some top football in the best conference. They offered me at the end of my sophomore year and that relationship has always been there and now it’s going to continue."

On his relationship with Ole Miss WR Coach Peeler: "The first day he got the job we talked and that let me know just how much they really wanted me. He cares about you more than just football. He’s a great person and a stand up guy."

On the Ole Miss tradition of receivers: "I want to be the next one. I’m going to come in as an early enrollee and work hard and get in the rotation as soon as I can."

On his next move: "Nobody knows yet but starting now I’m going to get out and recruit and try to help build a great class."

Rivals Reaction: Gregory is a huge pick up for the Rebels and marks the first four-star to commit to Ole Miss in the 2018 class. Beating out schools like Tennessee and Florida to land his commitment is also something worth celebrating for Rebels fans and coaches.
