Antonio Berry Commits to Ole Miss
Four‑star offensive tackle Antonio Berry, the sixth‑ranked prospect in the 2027 class, announced his commitment to the University of Mississippi on Wednesday, choosing the Rebels over a field that included Alabama, Florida and Kentucky. The pledge comes after a season at Tupelo High School where he helped the team to a Mississippi 7A State Championship game appearance and drew praise for his size and movement skills.
Berry’s decision adds to a recruiting class that already features Mitchell Turner and Ben'Jarvius Shumaker, giving Ole Miss three of the most coveted linemen in the state and a total of six blue‑chip front‑line players for the upcoming cycle.
A Recruiting Battle Across the South
The pursuit of Berry was anything but quiet. Colorado’s staff, under head coach Deion Sanders, hosted the recruit for an official visit and even earned a crystal‑ball projection, only to watch the prospect flip to Oxford. Alabama, which currently holds a single offensive‑line commit in Stafford Willis, remained a serious contender, while Florida showcased three blue‑chip linemen, highlighted by the nation’s No. 1 prospect Maxwell Hiller.
Kentucky’s own commitments include top‑20 prospect Dominic Black, but it was Ole Miss that ultimately secured Berry’s signature, underscoring the Rebels’ rising momentum under head coach Lane Kiffin.
Looking Ahead to the Under Armour All‑America Game
Berry will next be seen on the national stage at the 2027 Under Armour All‑America Game, where his performance will likely further cement his status as a cornerstone of the class and add another chapter to a recruiting story that has captivated fans across the country.
