Ole Miss received a boost on the recruiting trail Thursday with word that quarterback Alex Faniel from Glen Allen, Virginia, has committed to the Rebels, according to Scout.com.
Faniel is a pro-style quarterback who’s 6-foot-5, 223 pounds. Rivals.com dubs him as a three-star quarterback, and 247 Sports rates him as the nation’s No. 27 pro-style quarterback for the class of 2017.
