Jiyez Fleming Jiyez Fleming 6'0" | 195 lbs | LB Oxford | 2027 State AL , a dominant LB out of Oxford, dropped some big news earlier this week.

“Fleming is a talented LB who can seriously impact offenses in a lot of different ways. He can rush the passer well- he has a great first step, explodes off the line, and can rip, bull rush, and fly by offensive linemen to bring pressure and rack up sacks.

Fleming also does a great job playing against the run- he utilizes his pursuit and sideline-to-sideline speed to track and take down the ball carrier all over the field, regardless of where he initially lined up pre-snap.“

Earlier this week, Fleming committed to Ole Miss! He’ll be set up for a ton of success there. I’m excited to watch more of him moving forward.

In addition to how he rushes the passer, Fleming can also really impact the run. Fleming has great pursuit skills and can track down the ball carrier from sideline to sideline to make tackles, regardless of where he’s initially lined up.

Fleming is an athletic second level-defender that can handle a plethora of responsibilities. He comes in around 6’1 190 and is listed as an EDGE, but will likely project as a traditional stand-up LB. Fleming is a hot pursuer of the football. He has outstanding speed and range, which allows him to roam sideline to sideline and chase after the football. For the most part, he is a sound, face-up tackler that does a good job of settling down, mirroring movements, and wrap tackling ball carriers when needed. At times, he lines up in pass coverage and does a solid job. He moves similarly to a safety and can play underneath routes against TEs and bigger receivers well. He has the speed profile to find and stick with WRs out of the backfield too. He is a productive pass rusher, flashing the speed and bend needed to catch the edge and close in on the QB. Again, he projects as a traditional LB, but he can absolutely get after the QB on 3rd downs and blitz packages. Fleming is an obvious P4 evaluation as a LB and still has his best ball ahead of him.

Jiyez Fleming Jiyez Fleming 6'0" | 195 lbs | LB Oxford | 2027 State AL is a running back that everyone should know about, and for good reason. The 6’0 and 175-pound Yellowhammer State running back is one of the grittiest runners I have come across to date in this 2027 class. Jiyez is a shifty back who has no problem making a couple of moves in a short amount of time, in a small amount of space. With that, Fleming has advanced vision that allows him to find running lanes and exploit different gaps in the defense. Most importantly, Jiyez has the breakaway speed that devastates defenses and leads to big plays and even touchdowns. From what I have seen from Jiyez, it is clear that he is one of the top talents in Alabama. If he keeps this up, he is going to find himself at the top of the stat column for years to come.
