It was not a good week on the field for Ole Miss Football. Ole Miss lost to Georgia in embarrassing fashion, falling 42-7. The loss dropped Ole Miss to 6-3 on the season, as they tumbled to 19th in the AP Poll.
While Ole Miss took the loss on the field, they got a win on the college football recruiting trail on Tuesday, per Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
“Class of 2029 WR Matthew Fletcher has Committed to Ole Miss, he tells me for Rivals. The 6’3 200 WR is the No. 1 WR in Mississippi in the 2029 Rivals300. ‘This is where I see my future #HottyToddy'” Fawcett posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Fletcher is the top player for the class of 2029 out of Mississippi. He is currently ranked as a three-star recruit. Fletcher also spoke about why he chose Ole Miss, per Zach Berry of On3.
“I love the school. They have been top of my list after I first visited for a practice,” Fletcher said. “Ole Miss is home to be honest.”
Fletcher, who is currently a high school sophomore, chose the Rebels over offers from Florida, Florida State, LSU, and Mississippi State.

The coaching staff has been great throughout this whole process and has made me feel like a priority,” Fletcher said. “I love the environment the coaches are building and the direction the program is headed. I feel like Ole Miss is the best place for me to develop not only as a football player, but as a person. After talking with my family and thinking everything through, I felt like this was where I wanted my future to be. Still looking at other schools, too, but this is where I see myself right now.”
