Jordan Lathon, a 4-star guard in the 2018 recruiting class, has picked up an offer from Ole Miss.

Lathon originally signed with Northwestern, but the school announced last Friday that it would revoke his admission and rescind his scholarship.

The university did not publicly release a reason for the decision.

According to 247Sports, Lathon is ranked as the No. 5 player from Missouri and the No. 13 combo guard in the 2018 class.

Since the release from the Wildcats, he has also picked up offers from DePaul, Louisville, and Oregon State.

Kermit Davis has already put together an impressive recruiting class during his first few months in Oxford, as the Rebels have put together a top-60 class headlined by 3-star prospects Blake Hinson and KJ Buffen.

In addition to the newcomers, Ole Miss will likely return three of its top four scorers in Terence Davis (13.8 ppg), Breein Tyree (10.8 ppg), and Bruce Stevens (10.8 ppg).

The Rebels struggled to a 12-20 record this past season, which led to former head coach Andy Kennedy resigning after 12 seasons with the program.
