Ole Miss lands four-star DL Jalen Cunningham

The original plan was to sign in February and take official visits next month, but that has been scrapped and Jalen Cunnigham has signed with Ole Miss.

The 6-foot-4, 335 pound lineman out of Odenville (Ala.) St. Clair County started feeling this move last week at the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star game. He was around numerous Ole Miss commits, the Rebels were already high on his list and it hit him that there was no reason to wait.

"Being around a lot of guys at the all-star game that will be my teammates and just talking with them really made me see I was ready to decide," said Cunningham. "I was really just ready to get this whole recruiting process done with and I knew Ole Miss was the school."

The four-star has visited Oxford three different times and he loves the environment there. That was one of the keys to his decision.

"The main reasons I committed to Ole Miss was the coaching staff, my relationship with the whole 2018 recruiting class and the atmosphere."

Cunnigham could project as a defensive or offensive lineman on the next level.
