Ole Miss' 2025 recruiting stays hot, adds tight end Hayden Bradley
Ole Miss is currently ranked Top 20 in On3’s Team Football Recruiting Rankings. The Rebels have added five-star Akylin Dear and four-stars Jarcoby Hopson and Dillon Alfred. But, Lane Kiffin and Co., have no desire to slow down any time soon. And on Saturday, the Rebels added Buford (Ga.) tight end Hayden Bradley.
Ole Miss beat out Florida, Michigan, Penn State and South Carolina for the Georgia prospect. Bradley is the No. 614 prospect, per On3’s Industry Ranking. He is the 53rd-ranked tight end in the 2025 class and the No. 63 senior in the state of Georgia.
Despite taking trips to Texas A&M, Florida, Miami, Penn State and Georgia Tech, it’s Ole Miss who snags the verbal commitment heading into the summer.
The 6-foot-5, 215 pound prospect visited Oxford, Miss., for Lane Kiffin’s junior day in March and had a chance to meet new tight ends Joe Cox. This tilted the scales in Ole Miss’ favor.

Hayden Bradley told OMSpirit earlier this month the Ole Miss visit was “10/10”.
“They treated me like family and made it feel like home,” Bradley said. “The meeting with coach Kiffin went outstanding and definitely put the visit over the top.”
Cox is a budding star in the industry and a respected recruiter. This combined with Kiffin’s reputation as someone who puts tight ends in position to succeed pushed Ole Miss over the edge in Bradley’s recruitment.
“They know how to utilize their tight ends,” Bradley said. “They get tight ends to produce.”
