Lewis committed to Ole Miss on Tuesday. (247Sports)

Former Alabama commit Leo Lewis committed to Ole Miss Tuesday night, a source confirmed to AL.com.

Varsity Preps' co-founder Demetric Warren was the first to break the news. Lewis himself later retweeted Warren's tweet about the commitment, but hasn't responded to a text message from AL.com.

Lewis visited Alabama this past weekend and took in a game at Bryant-Denny Stadium -- his first trip back to Tuscaloosa since his de-commitment on July 18. Lewis committed to Alabama during the school's spring game in April, but later re-opened his recruitment while on a trip to Mississippi State.

After Lewis' decommitment he told reporters he'd likely wait until National Signing Day before making another decision. Following his decision many expected him to stay in the state of Mississippi, but Alabama continued to push for the nation's top inside linebacker. Getting him back on campus for the Florida game was considered a step in the right direction.

Lewis is rated the nation's 67th best player and No. 3 player in the state of Mississippi, according to 247Composite.

Lewis is the second one-time Alabama commit to flip to Ole Miss. Earlier this summer Wayne County junior defensive tackle Benito Jones flipped his commitment to the Rebels a little more than a month after initially committing to Alabama.
