Antwan Jackson Locks In June 5-7 Official Visit to Ole Miss

Antwan Jackson has locked an official visit to Ole Miss in Oxford for June 5-7, 2026, the four-star edge rusher announced in a Feb. 16 tweet reading, "Ole Miss Official Visit Locked🦈 #HoddyToody." The 6-foot-6, 225-pound prospect from White Station High School in Memphis will be hosted by Pete Golding and Ole Miss staff during the three-day trip, giving the Rebels a direct look at a player generating heavy Power Five interest.

Jackson’s 2025 stat line underlines why he has drawn that attention: 46 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, seven pressures, 5.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception, according to reporting that followed his announcement. Those numbers helped Jackson reel in offers and interest from programs across the SEC and beyond, putting Ole Miss "squarely in the race" for his commitment as his recruitment heats up.

Jackson has named several programs at the front of his recruitment. "Right now, Alabama, Ole Miss and Georgia stand out," he told Rivals' Chad Simmons, remarks reproduced in local reporting. Jackson also said, "I was at Ole Miss for two games and they have a great atmosphere. The stadium is not as big as others, but the fans are loud and I loved the environment. I like Coach Golding too. He is a great coach."

The broader recruiting landscape around Jackson is crowded. Offers and recent interest from Alabama, LSU and Georgia are documented, and coaches from Arkansas, Boston College, Memphis, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Texas and Kentucky have been connected to his recruitment through on-campus visits or staff contact. Jackson acknowledged the barrage of attention, saying, "A lot of coaches have been coming through and offering me. Everything has been going up for me in my recruitment, phone calls, texts, coaches coming to see me. It has been a lot."

Ole Miss’ pursuit of Jackson comes as part of an explicit push to add pass rushers. HottyToddy reporting notes Ole Miss is already heavily involved with four-star edge Mekai Brown and is pursuing other prospects, including a potential flip at wide receiver in Jeremiah Douglas from Crandall, Texas. That recruiting strategy frames Jackson’s June visit as both an evaluation for immediate positional need and a chance to compare him with targets already on the board.

The announcement produced visible local engagement: the HottyToddy recruiting Instagram post about Jackson’s visit recorded 1,574 likes and 16 comments on Feb. 16. Jackson’s stated goal, "I want to play in the league one day," underscores why June’s visit will be closely watched by Ole Miss coaches, Memphis high school staff at White Station and SEC rivals as the program weighs him against other national offers.
