“Jameson Powell Joins Ole Miss Rebel: Star Athlete Signs on the Dotted Line for Game-Changing Season Ahead!”…..
You know when you know. Jameson Powell, an Ole Miss Rebel and a four-star wide receiver in the class of 2026, announced his commitment on social media Wednesday afternoon.
Powell, out of Folsom High School in California, had his pick of top collegiate programs, and it appears the strong relationships forged by head coach Lane Kiffin and wide receivers coach George McDonald have paid off.
We had the opportunity to talk with Powell about his recruitment recently and what stood out about the Rebels and more. Make no mistake, this is a huge win for the foundational depth of the Rebels wide receiver room.
Powell, a Max Preps All American, owns big playmaking ability — and he’s got a great high school quarterback throwing him the ball. Ole Miss recruit Ryder Lyons, also a top priority for Lane Kiffin and company, is Powell’s QB at Folsom.
The 5-foot-11, 170-pound Powell, a speedster at the receiver position who is projected to play in the slot in college, always finds a way to make something happen in critical situations.
The No. 63 wideout in the nation and the No. 42 overall athlete out of California marks the second verbal commit for the Rebels’ 2026 class, joining fellow wide receiver Zion Legree out of Pine Forest in Florida.
Powell was one of the hardest wide receivers to cover in the 2026 class, and Ole Miss beat off Oregon, Washington, and Arizona to get his commitment.
Powell and QB’s chemistry Powell revealed that he went to Folsom to play because of Lyons, who is unquestionable. Even though Lyons will not make his choice until later, this might portend what Ole Miss will experience in the future.
