Ole Miss basketball coach Kermit Davis’ first commitment for the 2019 recruiting class is a big one.

Centennial High (Roswell, Georgia) power forward Rodney Howard announced his verbal pledge to the Rebels with a post to his Twitter account Tuesday. Howard, a four-star prospect according to 247Sports.com’s composite rankings, committed to Ole Miss over offers from Georgia, Middle Tennessee State and UAB among others.

The 247Sports composite ranks the 6-foot-10, 205-pound Howard as the No. 9 recruit in Georgia and the nation’s No. 114 prospect for 2019.
