Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson four-star wide receiver Dedrick Kimbrough was in Oxford on Saturday for the Ole Miss Rebels’ showdown against the Tulane Green Wave. A high-powered offensive attack paired with a stagnant defense guided No. 11 Ole Miss to a dominant 45-10 win on Saturday afternoon to improve to 4-0 for the second year in a row.
The Rebels dropped 548 offensive yards on the Green Wave (3-1), who only mustered 282 against a defense on fire.
Kimbrough, the No. 1 overall prospect in Alabama, earned an offer from Lane Kiffin and Co. this week, with the program quickly getting him down to campus.

The 6-foot-3, 180-pounder has earned scholarships from the likes of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, Missouri Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers, Penn State Nittany Lions, and Miami Hurricanes, among several others. Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels are in on the action with an offer on the table after making the call on Thursday.
The sophomore wideout has emerged as a rising star in the 2028 Recruiting Cycle with the “Who’s Who” of college football in pursuit of his services. During the summer, the scholarships came rolling in for Kimbrough while he handled business on the camp circuit.
“My most recent offers came from Alabama and Auburn. I picked up the Alabama offer after a great day of 7-on-7 on their campus. Auburn offered me two days later during their 7-on-7 series,” Kimbrough said this summer.
“I’ve been most interested in UNC, Alabama, Penn State, Miami, FSU, and Auburn. I’ve been developing relationships with the coaches from all of these programs and I could see a future with them. I don’t have a commitment date set just yet. I plan to commit some time during my junior season. I just want to make sure that I choose the school that will be the most beneficial to me both academically and athletically.”
Now, Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels are in on the action with an offer on the table for the highly-touted Alabama wideout.
