Kendarius Webster commits to Ole Miss: Rebels land star cornerback recruit

Ole Miss added to its impressive 2014 recruiting class on Tuesday when cornerback prospect Kendarius Webster committed to the Rebels. Ole Miss now has 21 commitments in its class, which ranks among the top 20 in the country.

Webster is a consensus three-star prospect according to the 247Sports composite rankings, though he is regarded as a four-star player by both Scout and 247. The Stockbridge High School (Ga.) product is 5’11 and weighs around 180 pounds. He has been clocked running a 40-yard dash in the 4.4-4.5 range.

Webster picked Ole Miss over the likes of Clemson, Arkansas, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, South Carolina and Tennessee. He is considered the No. 26 cornerback in the class, the No. 317 overall prospect and the No. 28 player from the state of Georgia.

He’s just one of several players from Georgia to join the Rebels’ 2014 class. Ole Miss also has commitments from Peach State standouts like running back Akeem Judd and linebacker Demarquis Gates, among others.
