Ole Miss lands 4-star WR Corey Barber Jr.

Corey Barber Jr. needed just one official visit to become convinced that Ole Miss is the place for him.

A speedy four-star wide receiver from Hoover, Ala., Barber announced his commitment to the Rebels on Friday, selecting coach Lane Kiffin’s program over Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.

Barber visited Ole Miss toward the end of April with visits to Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia scheduled for June 6, June 13 and June 20, respectively.

The 30th-ranked wideout in the class of 2026 according to Rivals250, the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Barber recorded 1,429 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns on 74 catches as a junior at Spain Park High in 2024.

“The thing that I like about Ole Miss,” Barber told Rivals, “is the way they use their wide receivers and their dynamic passing game. … I feel this school is a wide receiver’s dream.”
