Tylis Jordan, one of the top forwards in the 2025 class, has committed to Ole Miss, he told On3.

The 6-foot-9 rising senior out of Shiloh High School (GA) chose Chris Beard and the Rebels over scholarships from Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia Tech, LSU, and Auburn.

According to On3’s Top-150 Player Rankings, Jordan is a four-star prospect the No. 24 overall recruit in the 2025 class. He’s also the No. 7 power forward and the No. 5 player in the state of Georgia.

Jordan on his commitment to Ole Miss

Tylis Jordan went in-depth on his decision to choose Ole Miss with On3.

“I felt like Ole Miss was the right choice because of the great culture and the winning tradition coach Beard brings to any programs he’s been apart of. I trusted the coaching staff because they stayed consistent the entire time and were always clear about their vision and plans for me. I felt like that plan will get me to the next level.”

In his own words, what type of player is Ole Miss getting in Jordan?

“My play style is more modern basketball, not really tied to a position but I can be used everywhere. Whether it’s initiating the offense or being the screen setter or even being the designated shooter. I feel my game is very versatile and it’ll be amazing to see the different ways the staff use me in their system.”

Jordan has a message for Ole Miss fans.

“Let’s get to work. Hotty Toddy!”

Scouting Report

“Tylis Jordan has eye-popping physical tools with excellent length, a strong base, and projectable frame. He is also a fluid athlete with natural pop. Over the last year, Jordan has developed his game into a translatable direction. He plays a lot out of the high post. He has shown he can knock down the mid range jumper off the catch. He can also attack downhill off two dribbles and put pressure on the rim. Jordan is an intriguing defensive prospect. He has natural timing around the basket, can slide his feet with perimeter based forwards, and get into the passing lanes.

“He still needs to continue working on his footwork and defensive rotations. Offensively, Jordan can knock down a three, would still like to see him work on that release and balance, but that is projecting as a weapon. At this point, Jordan is still coming into his own. He has shown a clear archetype pathway toward the highest levels. He has a lot of the tools that the highest levels of basketball crave. Now it is about reps and putting it all together.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw

During his high school junior season, Jordan averaged 21.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, and 1.1 steals per game. Shiloh finished with a 23-5 overall record.
