JUST IN: 5-Star Oscar Delp (6’5”, 245 lbs) Decommits from Georgia Bulldogs and Commits to Ole Miss Rebels Over Alabama, Texas A&M, and LSU — “Welcome to the Family!”
Oxford, MS —
In a seismic recruiting shakeup that’s sending waves across the SEC, 5-star tight end Oscar Delp, one of the nation’s most coveted high school talents, has officially decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs and pledged his future to the Ole Miss Rebels.
Standing at 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, Delp has long been heralded as the next generational tight end prospect, drawing comparisons to NFL stars like Travis Kelce and George Kittle for his rare blend of size, athleticism, and route-running finesse. With offers on the table from college football juggernauts including Alabama, Texas A&M, and LSU, the decision to join the Rebels is being seen as a major coup for Lane Kaffin and his surging program.
> “This decision wasn’t just about football—it was about family,” Delp said in a surprise Instagram Live stream. “Ole Miss showed me love from day one. The staff, the players, the culture—it just felt right. I’m ready to be part of something special.”
A Recruiting Earthquake
Delp’s flip from Georgia comes just months before the start of the season and has blindsided recruiting insiders, many of whom considered him a lock for Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs after a two-year verbal commitment. Georgia fans were stunned, while Rebels Nation erupted with joy.
> “This is the kind of win that defines a new era,” said ESPN’s Tom Luginbill. “Lane Kaffin is building more than just a team—he’s building a movement, and Delp just became a foundational piece.”
Why Ole Miss?
According to sources close to Delp’s camp, several factors tilted the scales in Oxford’s favor:
A clear path to early playing time, with the Rebels expected to feature Delp in their high-octane offense as a freshman.
Tight relationship with Kaffin, who made multiple visits and maintained near-daily communication throughout the recruitment process.
A strong NIL infrastructure, offering Delp opportunities to grow his brand while staying focused on football.
And perhaps most importantly, a sense of community and belonging that he didn’t feel elsewhere.
> “Coach Kaffin didn’t just recruit me—he believed in me,” Delp said. “That’s different.”
What This Means for the Rebels
This commitment immediately positions Ole Miss as a top contender in both the SEC West and national recruiting rankings. With Delp on board, Kaffin now has a dominant red-zone threat and versatile offensive weapon who can create mismatches against any defense in the country.
Senior QB C.J. Halloway welcomed Delp on social media with a simple but powerful message:
> “Let’s eat. 🔥💯 #RebelNation”
The Reaction
Social media erupted following the announcement. The hashtag #DelpToTheSip trended nationally, and Ole Miss fans gathered outside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium for a spontaneous rally welcoming their newest star.
> “I’ve followed recruiting for 25 years, and I’ve never seen a flip this big this late,” said 247Sports analyst Steve Wiltfong. “Kaffin just pulled off a miracle.”
