For the rebels, christmas started early for them as they were able to flip 4-star recruit and starkville quarterback luke altmyer from florida state to join the lane train.

Altmyer signed with ole miss earlier today in the starkville gymnasium.

In his press conference today, head coach lane kiffin called altmyer a "talent and a natural leader."

"distance.

It's just an hour and a half away from where i live right now.

Obviously, they've been really exciting to watch on saturday's.

The way that coach kiffin and coach leby put their players in the best position to be themselves and great is really special.

I want to be a part of that."
