Ole Miss offensive line coach John Garrison and new Rebel commit Antonio Keefer
That breeze you feel blowing hard down from Memphis is out of Southwind High School. That’s home to consensus four-star offensive lineman Antonio Keefer who announced his decision to become an Ole Miss Rebel on Tuesday night.
The 6-4, 300-pounder is rated as the nation’s No. 22 interior offensive lineman in the 2027 class by the industry average,
Keefer chose the Rebels over finalists LSU and hometown Memphis. He also held offers from SEC programs Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State, Missouri, Tennessee and South Carolina, as well as Ohio State, Oregon, Maryland, West Virginia and others.
Keefer is a multi-sport athlete at Southwind High School, competing on the track and field team. He finished inside the top 10 in the Tennessee 3A shot put finals as a junior and also qualified for state in the discus.
Keefer is third high school offensive lineman in the Rebels’ 2027 class, joining Ford Wade (Oxford, Miss.) and Corderro McDaniel (Brookhaven, Miss.).
