Cortez Thomas brings four-star range, physicality, and Mississippi-made upside to Ole Miss
Thomas arrives at Ole Miss as a 2025 consensus four-star safety and top-15 Mississippi prospect, with recruiting services highlighting his physicality, field awareness, and ball skills. In high school, he finished with 175 tackles, 5 interceptions, and 22 passes defended, which is the kind of stat line that screams “playmaker” rather than “just another depth piece.” He also earned Under Armour All-American recognition, suggesting the Rebels liked the competitor, not just the measurables. If you want a safety with strong instincts, toughness, and SEC-ready upside, he looks like a smart fit.
