When he became one of three Olive Branch standouts to commit to Ole Miss on Tuesday, something in the back of Jeremy Longstreet's head told him it didn't feel right.

Forget that teammates Allen Walker and Markeith Summers had also pledged their allegiance Tuesday to the Rebels.

Longstreet had apparently found his own home at the University Memphis, and on Wednesday, he told the Ole Miss coaching staff he had decommitted to the Rebels and committed instead to the Tigers.

"I just changed my mind," said Longstreet, part of a Conquistador senior recruiting class that's had Division 1 college coaches from all over the country descending on DeSoto County. "I'm going to Memphis. The coaches, the way they've been recruiting me, they've been all over me. No college has been like that."

Longstreet (6-1, 190), who led 12-2 Olive Branch this season with 88 tackles and eight sacks from his inside linebacker position, said he knew he was part of a special Olive Branch class after a ninth-grade season in which the Conquistador freshman team went undefeated.

"We beat South Panola. We beat everybody. We were just bad," said Longstreet, a finalist this season for The Commercial Appeal's Defensive Player of the Year award.

Despite Longstreet's change of heart, both Markeith Summers and Walker confirmed Wednesday they are indeed headed to Ole Miss.

Summers, a 6-3, 190-pound receiver and defensive back rated the No. 35 receiver prospect nationally by Rivals.com, caught 12 touchdown passes this season from brother Anthony Summers and registered a team-high seven interceptions.

"We all just made our own decision," said Markeith, who turned down offers from LSU, Mississippi State, Nebraska and Tennessee. "We never all talked about playing together."

Walker, a 6-2, 200-pound receiver and safety rated the No. 4 athlete in the nation by Rivals.com, caught 18 balls for 385 yards and four touchdowns to go with his 69 tackles and two quarterback sacks.

He'd also considered Alabama, Clemson, Florida and LSU.

"When I thought about all the opportunities I'd have, Ole Miss seemed like it was the best choice," said Walker, who added he plans to play receiver for the Rebels.

Olive Branch quarterback Anthony Summers, meanwhile, said Wednesday he's bound for Mississippi State following an in-home visit Tuesday evening from head coach Sylvester Croom.

"I really got in-depth with (Croom) Tuesday night," said Anthony (6-2, 200), who Rivals.com ranks the No. 8 athlete prospect nationally. "I feel like I can go down there and fit in well with their system. It's a program I'd like to be a part of."

Anthony, a finalist for The CA's Offensive Player of the Year award after passing for 1,269 yards and 21 touchdowns and rushing for another 1,040 yards and 10 scores this season, said he'll play at safety for the Bulldogs.

He also had offers from Alabama, Florida, LSU, Memphis and Ole Miss.

"Everybody else was asking me what I thought about playing in college with my brother (Markeith)," Anthony said. "I was like, 'I've never talked to him about it.' For me, basically, it was I've got to do what's best for me. I'd never talked to him about going to the same school."

Then there's highly regarded Conquistador defensive end Victor Thomas (6-4, 250), who said Wednesday he intends not to commit until after he's made official visits to Louisville (Jan. 6), Tennessee (Jan. 13), Florida (Jan. 20) and Mississippi State (Jan. 27). Thomas, who registered 44 tackles this season and 6.5 quarterback sacks, has already visited Ole Miss (Dec. 9).

"(Markeith and Walker) aren't putting pressure on me (to attend Ole Miss)," Thomas said. "But these coaches are calling every week. It's getting intense. I just want to take all my visits first."

Olive Branch coach Jamie Mitchell called the fivesome a "special group."

"Words can't describe it," Mitchell said Wednesday. "The unbelievable talent that's there is still overshadowed by the love for the game they have. As great a players as they are, they love to play and compete as much as anything. Not any of them got caught up with what their plans were, what their agenda was or what best suited them. It was always about helping us win."
