Alex Adams

Ole Miss rolled its twelfth offer out in the state of Mississippi's 2020 class on Thursday, as the Rebels pulled the trigger on South Pike High School wide receiver Alex Adams.

It's the second Southeastern Conference offer for the 6-1, 175-pounder, as Ole Miss joins Mississippi State. Adams also holds offers from Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Monroe, Southern Miss and Tulane.

He has yet to be rated by 247Sports.

Adams said despite growing up in the state of Mississippi, he has no allegiance to the Rebels or Mississippi State. In fact, he grew up rooting for LSU.

Adams caught 26 passes for 600 yards and 16 touchdowns last season for South Pike.

Right now, after camping in Starkville last summer, Mississippi State is ahead, according to Adams. He has never visited Oxford, though, something he says he may try to do this weekend.

"That doesn't mean Ole Miss is out of it, because I've never visited Ole Miss before. It's just that Mississippi State offered me first and I've been there. I just have to give it a little time," said Adams.

Wide receivers coach Jacob Peeler is Adams' primary recruiter for the Rebels.

"He told me he don't mind me playing wide receiver for him," said Adams.

Adams did say that Ole Miss' success at putting wide receivers in the NFL make the Rebels very attractive to him.

Adams said Auburn has also been showing interest in him and communicating steadily. Adams has taken unofficial visits to Tulane, Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss so far this year.
