Leakesville (Miss.) Greene County four-star wide receiver Jase Mathews is preparing to wind down his recruiting process with five schools intensifying their pursuit down the stretch.
Mathews, a Top-10 rated wideout in the 2026 Recruiting Class, took multiple official visits this summer to check in with the contenders in his recruitment.
The 6-foot-2, 180-pounder is the No. 4 overall prospect in Mississippi with the hometown Ole Miss Rebels becoming a key school in his process. But he’s as coveted as they come on the recruiting scene following an impressive junior campaign on the prep scene. During his junior season with Greene County, Mathews tallied 68 receptions for 1,138 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2024. Following a dominant campaign in 2024, he’s shifted focus towards his recruiting process prior to what many believe will be a standout senior campaign in 2025. Mathews took official visits to the Ole Miss Rebels, LSU Tigers, Colorado Buffaloes, Auburn Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies this summer with the handful of schools all in contention. According to On3 Sports, Mathews is nearing decision-making time with Lane Kiffin and the Rebels in the thick of it. Ole Miss’ wide receiver haul is shaping up nicely after the program landed a commitment from four-star Corey Barber this spring with the Rebels securing the Alabama native. What led Barber to Oxford? What separated the Rebels down the stretch with multiple SEC powerhouse programs vying for his services? “I would say I learned just how productive their offense has been over the past few years,” Barber said. “I sat down with offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. this weekend and we watched film and went over numbers from the last few seasons. Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels continue stacking talent in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle with Barber joining Izayia Williams, the No. 1 linebacker in America, and Top-10 running back Damarius Yates as the recent pledges.
