On300 OT Connor Howes flips commitment from Arkansas to Ole Miss

Saint Cloud (Fla.) Osceola four-star offensive tackle Connor Howes has flipped his commitment from Arkansas to Ole Miss.

He was pledged to the Razorbacks since June 14, but is now the latest blue-chipper to flip to the Rebels at the end of the cycle.

Howes is the No. 487 overall prospect and No. 31 OT in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

On3 ranks the 6-foot-5.5, 295-pounder much higher than other recruiting services. He checks in at No. 179 overall, No. 14 at the OT position and No. 27 in the Sunshine State, per the 2025 On300.

The Rebels continued to give Howes something to think about down the stretch. He took his official visit last weekend to watch the Rebels defeat Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.

“I went up there with the intent to asks some questions and they all got answered as well as a bunch more information that helps out making the decision,” Howes told On3. “Coach (John) Garrison has always been there for me since day one and I had kind of separated from him when I had committed, but he still made sure to reach out to me and wish me good luck before the games and everything.”
