Standing at 6-foot-4 and 285 pounds, Maddox should seamlessly fit into Pete Golding’s 3-4 defensive scheme. 247Sports ranks Maddox as the No. 22 defensive lineman in the country, the seventh-ranked player in the state of Mississippi and the 183rd-ranked player in the nation.
Maddox, who stars at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, checks in as the No. 3 prospect in Ole Miss’ 2025 class, per On3. He is slotted just behind in-state running back Akylin Dear and wide receiver Jerome Myles out of Utah.
Maddox’s ceiling does not seem to exist, either. His ability to line up inside and out will give Golding options once he arrives on campus. His get off at the line of scrimmage will make offensive coordinators around the SEC sweat for years to come. Maddox also possesses plenty of strength and explosiveness which will make NFL scouts drool once Ole Miss’ staff gets their hands on him.
Maddox is another high quality recruit the Rebels have been able to land over the last few weeks. His addition vaults Ole Miss’ 2025 class from No. 18 to No. 15 as Golding and the Rebels continue to add defensive studs from all over the nation.
