Ole Miss secured a commitment on Wednesday from 5-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham, who had previously pledged to Alabama.

The significant 2025 recruiting class flip came four days after Cunningham visited his home-state Rebels during their victory against then-No. 3 Georgia.

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Cunningham, from Choctaw County High in Ackerman, Miss., is ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver and No. 16 overall prospect in the class by the 247Sports composite.

Cunningham committed to the Crimson Tide on July 13, choosing coach Kalen DeBoer's program over Mississippi, Mississippi State, Florida, Auburn and Tennessee.

As a junior in 2023, Cunningham caught 48 passes for 1,138 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin's recruiting class also includes four four-star prospects, per 247Sports: RB Shekai Mills-Knight, S Ladarian Clardy, CB Cortez Thomas and DL Andrew Maddox.
