If Deontay Anderson wanted to make a splash when announcing his commitment, he certainly succeeded.
Anderson, a four-star safety from Manvel, Texas, narrowed his choices down to Texas, Ole Miss and LSU. Instead of going with a nice ceremony at his high school, Anderson jumped out of a plane. For real.

That is going to be hard for other recruits to top.
The addition of Anderson is a big one for the Rebels. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Anderson is rated as the No. 84 overall prospect and the third-best safety in the 2016 class. He is the tenth four-star recruit to join Ole Miss’ class. The Rebels also have landed commitments from two five-star prospects: quarterback Shea Patterson and offensive lineman Gregory Little.
