The closer it gets to signing day, the more it seems like Robert Nkemdiche is Oxford-bound.

Nkemdiche, a defensive end from Loganville, Ga., widely considered the No.1 prospect in the country, took his official visit to Oxford last weekend with his father, Dr. Sunday Nkemdiche --

that his son would not take a planned visit to LSU this weekend.

Nkemdiche's brother, Denzel, was Ole Miss' leading tackler in 2012 and the Rebels have been at the top of his list since he de-committed from Clemson in November. His father told Rivals' Neal McCready that Oxford has a familiar, comfortable feel for his family.

"I like Ole Miss because the program is on the rise and they have a very good coach," Dr. Nkemdiche said. "They're having success now. I'm very familiar with the coaching staff. I don't know much about Florida's coaches. I know it's a very good program, but I don't know much about it."

Nkemdiche, who visited Florida on Jan. 18, was one of several five-star prospects visiting Oxford last weekend, joining Lake City, Fla., offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, Houston, Miss., defensive end Chris Jones and current Ole Miss commit Laquon Treadwell, a receiver from Crete, Ill. Tunsil is considered a Georgia lean and Jones, at last report, remains committed to Mississippi State.
