It is presently football season in Oxford, Mississippi, but the Ole Miss baseball team will return to the Diamond sooner than later, with intrasquad scrimmages beginning later this month.
Despite the fact that the majority of the spotlight is still focused on the current team, head coach Mike Bianco and his staff have continued to work on recruiting.
Ryan Walls, a right-handed pitcher, revealed his commitment to Ole Miss baseball on his own social media account on Monday AM, 2026. Walls, 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds, is a 16-year-old high school prospect from Ponte Vedra, Florida, who attends Providence High School.
Walls is listed in Perfect Game as an outfielder, middle infielder, and third baseman, yet he spends the majority of his time on the mound.
“I am thrilled to announce that I will be attending the University of Mississippi to continue my academic and athletic career. I feel incredibly fortunate.” I want to express my gratitude to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for giving me this chance and enabling me to use my sport to exalt Him. In addition, I want to express my gratitude to my family for their efforts in order for me to be here today. Above all, my father for mentoring me both on and off the field and for putting in endless hours to make this happen,” Walls posted on social media on Monday afternoon.
“I also want to express my gratitude to all of my teammates, friends, and coaches—especially Coach Boss from Providence—who have had a huge impact on my life. Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to Coaches Bianco, Mangrum, Lafferty, and Clement for helping me realize my goal of playing SEC baseball at Ole Miss. Go, Rebels! Jeremiah 29:11.
A Prep Baseball Report scout named Shooter Hunt gave a summary of Walls’ performance earlier in the month.
“His potential for future jumps and his fast arm with large spin metrics. Broad shoulders on a 6-2 frame with room to grow. aggressive shifter. Good follow,” Walls was written by Hunt.
