Heavily offered four-star safety CJ Craig-James liked everything about hi unofficial visit to Ole Miss on Saturday to watch the Rebels dismantle the Missouri Tigers in a game which held playoff implications.
The 6-3, 185-pound Craig-James, from Parker High School in Birmingham, Ala., is a four-star prospect out of the 2028 class. He is rated as the nation’s No. 8 safety and the No. 73 overall player in America by the industry average.
“It was great, and I loved being in Oxford,” Craig-James told OleMiss365.com. The atmosphere…from the tailgating until the kickoff, it was lit… Ole Miss dominated from start to finish.”
Craig-James is rewarding the Rebels with another visit after his experience over the weekend. He plans to be back on the Ole Miss campus when the Rebels host the Georgia Bulldogs on Nov. 7.
“I expect to see them (Ole Miss) in the playoffs,’ said Craig-James.
