Early Commit: DE Charles Wiley to Ole Miss

When looking at the programs that have the best 2016 classes committed to date, the conversation begins and ends with Miami (FL) and Ole Miss. Though the Hurricanes got off to the fastest start, the Rebels have caught up and now arguably have the top class with the commitment of defensive end Charles Wiley, the eighth ESPN Junior 300 pledge for Hugh Freeze and staff.

Significance of impact: Outside of the state of Mississippi, Georgia and Louisiana are the two most important states for Ole Miss in recruiting. With No. 25-overall and quarterback Shea Patterson already in the fold from the Pelican State, grabbing a coveted prospect from the Peach State was paramount to continue with the building of early momentum, and the Rebels' staff did just that picking up a verbal from Wiley.
