While the month of August did not include as many commitments for the SEC as prior months, it was arguably the biggest recently when it came to the conference adding big names, as multiple programs added a five-star recruit. With some of those programs included here, let’s take a look at some of SEC football’s biggest recruiting winners during August 2023. (Recruiting rankings are according to 247Sports Composite)
Ole Miss, Alabama among August 2023 SEC football recruiting winners
Ole Miss Rebels
August Commits:
- 4-star DL Kamarion Franklin
- 4-star QB Trever Jackson
- 4-star ATH Noreel White
- 3-star WR Sanfrisco Magee
- 3-star TE Dillon Hipp
- CB Cedrick Beavers
We begin our list of August 2023 recruiting winners across SEC football with Ole Miss, who added six commitments during the month, which was the most of any team across the conference. With each of those commits coming from the Rebels 2024 class, undoubtedly the biggest of those was likely via Kamarion Franklin, who is a highly-rated four-star defensive lineman out of in-state Lake Cormorant (MS), where he is the top player in the state of Mississippi.
The Rebels also added two additional four-star’s during August, arguably the biggest of which was from quarterback Trever Jackson out of Jones (FL). Ole Miss’ other four-star was from an in-state prospect in Noreel White, who is an athlete out of St. Martin (MS) who was previously committed to Arkansas.
Rounding out Ole Miss’ commitments during August were two additional in-state prospects from Mississippi, which included three-star wide receiver Sanfrisco Magee out of McComb (MS) and JUCO cornerback Cedrick Beavers out of Jones College (MS). The Rebels final commit came from three-star tight end Dillon Hipp out of Desert Mountain (AZ).
