The long awaited announcement came as the seventh player put his name to the scholarship. Issac Gross signed a national letter of intent to play at Ole Miss. Tuesday night he had expressed doubts about signing with Ole Miss after taking an official visit to the University of Southern Mississippi over the weekend.
Joining Gross at Ole Miss is teammate Temario Strong, the third Strong from South Panola to sign with the Rebels. He is following in the foot steps of his uncle Eddie Strong and cousin Chris Strong. Both Strong and Gross verbally committed to the Rebels last April.
