OLE MISS
Talented JUCO WR JaVonta Payton decommits from Ole Miss, could be eying Tennessee
The Ole Miss Rebels lost a big piece of their 2019 recruiting class on Monday night, dropping their total number of commits to 26.
The departing player is 3-star JUCO WR JaVonta Payton, a Nashville native who currently plays for Northwest Mississippi Community College.
As you can see below, Payton announced his decision to decommit from the Rebels via Twitter on Monday night:

Per the 247Sports composite, Payton is the No. 3 JUCO wide receiver in the class of 2019 and the No. 5 overall JUCO player from the state of Tennessee.
Payton is a big-time Tennessee target, too, so we’ll have to wait and see if he ends up committing to Jeremy Pruitt and the Vols in the near future.
Tenn has a quality coach
Tenn has a quality A D
Tenn has a quality admission
Ole Miss doesn’t
Good luck to the young man and congrats on a wise decision.
Administration
As a vol fan I disagree on competent admin haha. Hopefully Luke becomes the Ole Miss version of Fulmer.
Thanks for making State fans look bad
There are programs a lot more committed to throwing the ball and promoting quarterbacks / receivers than OMiss, and Tennessee, but if a student/athlete wants to error on the side of being close to home, it’s an understandable “error”/”choice”, whatever. Right now it’s hard to imagine either one of these programs making a quick transition to committing, for example, 1/4 of their scholarships to quarterbacks and receivers. Not every receiver can be on the roster of a program that represents aggressive air attack strategy in that conference ie,, It’s certainly obvious that both of these programs are in transition mode right now, so we’ll just have to wait to see where they are going.
What are you even saying? It sounds like you are trying to say that Ole Miss, the team with the 4th best passing offense in the country, isn’t committed to throwing the ball. Do you even watch football?
Second I was about to say the same thing. Ole miss, if anything, is overly committed to throwing the ball.
He’s still mad about Mizzou not getting any respect back in 2013.
