OSU Target Israel Antwine Reconsidering Ole Miss Commitment

Following the sudden resignation of Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss last week, we wrote about how it might affect OSU in a positive way in regards to in-state recruit Israel Antwine, who has been committed to Ole Miss since May.

Antwine confirmed to The Oklahoman on Friday that he’s reconsidering his commitment to the Rebels, given the amount of uncertainty surrounding the program and its ongoing investigation by the NCAA.

“I was surprised to hear it, and I was disappointed,” he told The Oklahoman on Friday. “It has really got me thinking. I have to look out for my future.”

While Antwine remains committed, I believe it’s a matter of when he decommits, not if. And OSU will be right in the thick of it should he back away from his pledge.

Antwine says he won’t make a decision until the NCAA ruling on sanctions is handed down, on a date to be determined, but all signs point to OSU eventually becoming a contender for the 2018 defensive tackle from Millwood.
