Ole Miss Football Secures Commitment from 2026 Cornerback Braylen Williams

April 12, 2025 — Oxford, MS

Ole Miss football has added a major piece to its future secondary with the commitment of Class of 2026 cornerback Braylen Williams from Tupelo High School. The talented defensive back announced his decision earlier today, giving the Rebels an early boost in their 2026 recruiting class.

Williams, known for his speed, instincts, and ball-hawking ability, has drawn attention from multiple Power Five programs. Ultimately, he chose to stay close to home and join Lane Kiffin’s squad in Oxford.

“Ole Miss felt like the right place for me—on and off the field,” Williams said. “The coaches believe in me, and I believe in what they’re building here.”

Standing out as a key player for Tupelo, Williams has been praised for his lockdown coverage skills and aggressive play style. With continued development, he’s expected to become a major contributor at the collegiate level.

Recruiting analysts are already calling the pickup a big win for the Rebels, who continue to prioritize in-state talent and strengthen their defensive future.

With Williams on board, Ole Miss is off to a strong start in shaping its 2026 class—and fans are excited to see what the hometown standout will bring to the field.
