Lincoln City (Ind.) Heritage Hills four-star athlete Jett Goldsberry committed to Ole Miss on Monday. He’ll play in the secondary for head coach Lane Kiffin and the Rebels.
The 6-foot, 195-pound Goldsberry chose the Rebels over his other finalists in North Carolina, Purdue, Rutgers and Wake Forest.
Goldsberry visited Oxford in the spring and returned in the summer. He talked about what made Ole Miss right for him.
“Man so much,” Goldsberry said. “It was such a special place and I just knew the first time I went there it was gonna be high on my list. The second time I went, I knew it was home.
“The square, the atmosphere, the coaches and the team are all so elite.”
One of Midwest’s top multi-sport recruits
Ranked as the nation’s No. 15 athlete and No. 3 prospect in the Hoosier State, Goldsberry becomes commit No. 13 for Kiffin and the Rebels in the 2026 class. Safeties coach Wes Neighbors was the lead recruiter.

“What excites me is the way the coaches develop you not only on the field, but as a young man,” Goldsberry said. “And then also the opportunity to get developed enough to have a chance at the NFL.”
Goldsberry does it all on Friday nights and is coming off a terrific junior season capped by a state championship. Playing quarterback he threw for 1,807 yards and 26 touchdowns to just four interceptions with another 1,676 rushing yards and 28 more scores. A three-year starter on defense where he projects on the next level, Goldsberry has 212 career tackles, four forced fumbles and three interceptions.
Goldsberry finished as a state placer in the 215-pound weight class in wresting and also shines in track and field.
Ole Miss is working on a top 20 class, ranking No. 17 prior to Goldsberry’s pledge. He is another big pickup. His father Jon Goldsberry starred at Purdue before playing running back in the NFL.
