Breaking: Four-Star DB Jontavius Wyman Shocks SEC with Commitment to Ole Miss, Flipping from Georgia and Rejecting Tennessee.

 

The SEC recruiting landscape just got shaken up as four-star defensive back Jontavius Wyman has committed to Ole Miss, flipping from Georgia and turning down Tennessee in the process. Wyman, a highly regarded 2025 prospect out of Alabama, had been a longtime Georgia pledge, but after an impressive visit to Oxford, he made a stunning last-minute decision to join Lane Kiffin’s program.

 

Wyman’s recruitment had been a rollercoaster, with Tennessee making a strong push late in the cycle. The Volunteers were seen as a potential landing spot, especially after Wyman expressed interest in their defensive scheme. However, Ole Miss managed to secure his pledge with a compelling pitch that emphasized early playing time, defensive flexibility, and the vision of defensive coordinator Pete Golding.

 

At 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, Wyman brings elite athleticism and physicality to the Rebels’ secondary. His ability to play both cornerback and safety makes him a valuable asset, and his decision bolsters an Ole Miss defense looking to compete at a higher level in the SEC.

 

While Tennessee fans may be disappointed, the Vols remain in the hunt for other defensive backs in the 2025 class. Meanwhile, Georgia, despite losing Wyman, continues to reload with elite talent. But for now, Ole Miss emerges as the big winner, securing a major flip and sending a strong message to the rest of the SEC.

 

With Wyman’s commitment, the Rebels’ 2025 class gains momentum, and Ole Miss proves once again that under Kiffin, they can compete with the conference’s recruiting powerhouses.
