Ole Miss OL Cam East withdraws from transfer portal, returning to Rebels
Ole Miss offensive lineman Cam East entered the NCAA Transfer Portal in early December, but now has withdrawn, On3 learned Sunday.
He played in two games in 2022 while redshirting. In 2023, East played in two games. This year, he didn’t see action for Ole Miss.
East was committed to Mississippi State for nearly six months. However, the Rebels continued to aggressively pursue him, and once the 6-foot-7, 270-pound offensive tackle re-opened his recruitment Dec. 3, 2022, Ole Miss quickly emerged as the favorite to land him.
East was ranked as the No. 33 offensive tackle by the On3 Industry Ranking. The On3 Industry Ranking is a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s the No. 28 prospect in Louisiana.
