Lafayette (La.) three-star wide receiver Brayden Allen revealed a commitment to Jon Sumrall and the Tulane Green Wave this week after mulling over his options.

Allen, a top-five wideout in Louisiana, has received a myriad of offers across his prep career following a standout junior campaign.

But the 6-foot-1, 175-pounder elected to make the move to announce a commitment to the hometown Tulane Green Wave on Wednesday.

Despite the pledge, Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels remain in the mix after extending a scholarship to the fast-rising Louisiana receiver on Saturday.

Allen logged 55 receptions for 1,155 yards and 10 touchdowns during his junior campaign while also impacting the game on defense and special teams.

The offer comes on the heels of the Ole Miss coaching staff beginning to evaluate options in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle.

The Rebels hold commitments from four-star wideout Corey Barber and three-star Jameson Powell, but remain on the prowl to add to the receiving corps moving forward.

Now, a fresh offer is out for Allen as the program looks to flip the current Tulane Green Wave pledge.

Ole Miss is also in the running for four-star wide receiver Jase Mathews, a top-five wideout in America.

Mathews is down to the Ole Miss Rebels, Texas A&M Aggies, LSU Tigers and Auburn Tigers with a commitment date penciled in for next month.

As it stands, the Ole Miss Rebels appear to be on the outside looking in with the LSU Tigers and Auburn Tigers making moves in his process.

Kiffin and Co. currently hold a Top-25 Recruiting Class in the 2026 cycle with all focus set on stacking more talent across the next few weeks.
