should be a eventful weekend for OMOle Miss is expected to host six 2020 prospects on official visits this weekend. They are all expected to arrive on campus Friday evening. The caveat to that is things are extremely fluid as we head into the final weekend before next Wednesday's national signing day. As always, we issue our customary warning of potential subtractions and/or additions to this visitors' list.

The Rebels will also host a group of underclassmen on Saturday. It will be the Rebels' final chance to bring in those underclassmen until the spring, as February in its entirety is now a dead period on the NCAA calendar.

Among the 2020 official visitors expected to be on campus this weekend are three wide receivers, a tight end, one offensive lineman and a defensive back. Of those, two are currently committed to Florida State and Florida, respectively.

One of those is Florida wide receiver commit Marc Britt. The Gators went in-home with Britt earlier this week but did not deter his scheduled visit to Ole Miss. Britt, who took his official to Florida last weekend, is still expected in Oxford at this writing.

Britt, however, might prove to be an interesting case. The four-star receiver has said he might not be ready to end his recruitment next Wednesday.

"If not Wednesday, it might be some days after," Britt told Swamp247. "If not then, yes in the spring."Of note is that Ole Miss is recruiting the multi-talented Britt as a wide receiver, while Florida sees him as a safety.

 His warning of potentially setting out signing day echoes what some are saying about another prospect that Ole Miss and Florida are battling for in wide receiver Leonard Manuel.

Manuel, a Florida commit who took his official to Ole Miss last weekend, does not plan to sign a letter of intent until April 1. According to sources, that is due to him needing a higher test score for entrance into Florida. Don't be surprised, though, if Manuel pulls off a signing day flip to the Rebels. We are told that is certainly a possibility.

Florida State commit Malachi Wideman is also a hopeful to take an official visit to Ole Miss this weekend. He has been committed to the Seminoles since last May and took his official visit to Tallahassee in December. His 247Sports Crystal Ball has held steady with Florida State at 86 percent. The other 14 percent belongs to the Florida Gators.

The other receiver expected to spend the weekend in Oxford is Shreveport, La., prospect Detravion Brown. He is fresh off back-to-back official visits to Kentucky and Houston,as things wind down to a three-school battle.

Ole Miss looks to be in good shape for tight end Allen Horace. Horace visited UT-San Antonio last weekend, so the Rebels get the last chance to make the best, on-campus impression. Of note on the 6-4, 250-pound Horace, some schools see him as a defensive end on the next level.

Offensive lineman Cedric Melton will take his first look-see at Ole Miss this weekend, as well. Melton decommitted from Arizona earlier this week and his recruitment has seemingly boiled down to Ole Miss and Houston.

We highly suspect the Rebels will gain a commitment from Melton this weekend. Whether or not that potential commitment goes public or remains silent is something we'll just have to wait to see.


Finally, Ole Miss defensive back commitment Daran Branch will take his much-anticipated official visit to Ole Miss this weekend. Branch is fresh off an official visit to Georgia and his Ole Miss commitment held strong.
