BREAKING NEWS: 5-Star QB Will Howard Flips Commitment from Ohio State to Ole Miss in Stunning Move—Rebels Land Game-Changing Superstar
The quarterback dominoes just shook the entire college football landscape.
In a move that no one saw coming, five-star quarterback Will Howard (6’4”, 236 lbs) has officially decommitted from Ohio State and committed to the Ole Miss Rebels, choosing Lane Kiffin’s rising powerhouse over Georgia and Coach Prime’s Colorado Buffaloes.
And just like that, the balance of power in the SEC got a massive jolt.
“I prayed on it, thought long and hard about where I truly belonged,” Howard said during his surprise announcement. “And I realized that Oxford is where my heart is. I’m ready to be a Rebel.”
Standing at 6’4″ with elite arm strength, uncanny field vision, and mobility to escape pressure, Howard has long been considered one of the top quarterback prospects in the country. He possesses the kind of size and athleticism that scouts drool over—and now, he’s bringing all of that firepower to Ole Miss.
Lane Kiffin’s offense just became must-watch television.
Known for developing dynamic quarterbacks and explosive schemes, Kiffin now has a generational talent to build around. With Howard under center, the Rebels’ future is brighter than ever. Expect big plays, big throws, and big moments under the lights in Oxford.
Why the Flip?
According to sources close to the situation, Howard’s bond with the Ole Miss coaching staff—particularly Lane Kiffin—was too strong to ignore. Add in the chance to be the face of a rising SEC contender and the freedom to unleash his full dual-threat skill set, and the Rebels offered everything he was looking for.
Georgia made a strong push. Colorado brought the flash. But Ole Miss brought the family, the vision, and the trust.
Rebel Nation is already celebrating.
The Grove is buzzing. Social media exploded as soon as the news dropped, with hashtags like #WelcomeWill, #HottyToddyQB1, and #RebelsReloaded flooding X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
Coach Lane Kiffin posted his signature tweet shortly after the announcement:
“Come to the Sip. QB1.”
And now it’s real.
What does this mean for Ole Miss?
It means the Rebels aren’t just competing—they’re building a dynasty. With a top-tier quarterback like Howard leading the future, the path to SEC titles and College Football Playoff appearances suddenly feels very real.
From Columbus to Oxford, the winds of change are blowing.
And Will Howard? He’s ready to write his name in Ole Miss history.
Welcome to the family, QB1.
Let the Rebel reign begin.
