1. Mohamed Sanogo, 3-Star MLB (Plano, Texas)

Mohamed Sanogo is the most important prospect for Ole Miss to land as he comes at their position of need, linebacker, and he is seen as incredible talent that can come in and make an immediate impact. Sanogo has great speed at the position as well as good instincts as to where to go after running backs as the go up the middle or to the outside. He also does not give up on any plays and is always hustling to the ball carrier regardless of if someone is there or not before he gets there.

Ole Miss’s need for linebackers cannot be understated here and is perhaps what makes them the best fit for Sanogo as it does present him with the opportunity to start his college career sooner than he would at many other schools. Above all he is a playmaker. Sanogo is a physical guy at 6-2 and 239lbs, he will hit you, as well as shed blockers to get to the ball carrier.

Mohamed Sanogo is considered to be all but an Ole Miss Rebel at this point, but he is still considering UCLA and Mississippi State. Sanogo is rated the 20th best inside linebacker in the country according to 247sports.
