The Ole Miss Rebels recorded their biggest win of the 2026 college football season so far on Saturday night, taking down Lane Kiffin and the visiting LSU Tigers with a 32-24 final score at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.

Just one day after this top-10 victory, the Rebels landed another big win.

2028 four-star safety Braylen Bedford announced his commitment to Ole Miss on Sunday, choosing Pete Golding's program over Tennessee, Kentucky and Vanderbilt.

Bedford, a Mississippi native who plays his high school football in Tennessee, will return home for the start of his collegiate career.

"Really Coach Pete Golding, Coach [Wes] Neighbors and they've been recruiting me since the eighth grade," Bedford said, via college football insider Steve Wiltfong of On3 Spiorts. "It's been like a family. It's great. Coach [Donte] Moncrief been recruiting me hard too.

"It's a great team and they're going to keep it straight up with me. I feel like they're a family-like team and the players are close and they bond a lot."

Bedford made his commitment decision while on a visit to Oxford this past weekend.

"It was great, it's a blessing to be able to be in this position right now," he added. "The way he just became the head coach and he's already winning."
