5-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham flips from Alabama to Ole Miss
It’s been a long road to get here for Ole Miss. After announcing a commitment to Alabama in the summer, five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham has flipped to the in-state Rebels.
The Choctaw County (Miss.) prospect said all the right things all summer and fall, but he kept showing up in Oxford, Miss., and taking visits. He had a chance to sit down with the staff and have some detailed conversations at Juice Fest 24 in July. Then, he came to not one, not two but three games this fall.
And after meeting with damn near the entire staff and seeing the Ole Miss offense in action, Cunningham decided the Ole Miss program was where he wants to be.
Cunningham is the nation’s No. 17 overall prospect, No. 2 wide receiver and No. 1 recruit from Mississippi in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average which utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Caleb Cunningham is the 20th commit in Ole Miss’ 2025 class.
He is the first five-star in Lane Kiffin’s group and the sixth commit from the state of Mississippi. The Rebels are now firmly in the Top 20 in On3’s Team Football Recruiting Rankings and are inching closer to Top 15 status.
“Bouncy outside receiver with the upside to become a skilled ball-winner. Measured at a shade 6-foot-2, 180 pounds with 32-inch arms and 9-inch hands prior to his senior season. Moves well at his size on film. Shows the ability to come down with catches in contested situations. Hangs in the air to come down with acrobatic grabs. Naturally coordinated and can locate the football at its highest point. Also shows some ability to make defenders miss after the catch.
“Increased his production as a junior, catching 48 passes for 1,138 yards and 14 touchdowns. Doubles as a fantastic high school basketball player, who has perhaps the best dunk reel among 2025 football prospects. Lives above the rim, throwing down electric dunks with regularity. Has considerable natural ability but will need to hone his technical skill at the position over the final few years of high school football, including expanding his route tree. Older for the cycle, turning 19 years-old as a senior. Has considerable upside with continued technical development.”
