Four-Star Receiver Jameson Powell Flips Commitment from Ole Miss Rebels football to Oregon State Beavers football
One of the Sacramento region’s top football prospects is heading to the Pacific Northwest.
Folsom High School wide receiver Jameson Powell, a four-star recruit in the 2026 class, announced that he has decommitted from Ole Miss and will instead continue his football career at Oregon State. The decision marks a significant recruiting win for the Beavers while shifting the trajectory of one of Northern California’s most dynamic offensive playmakers.
Powell has been a central figure in the high-powered offense at Folsom High School, a program that has consistently produced Division I talent and state-level contenders. Known for his speed, route-running ability, and big-play potential, Powell has emerged as one of the region’s most dangerous receiving threats.
At 6-foot-1, Powell combines athleticism with polished receiver mechanics. He has demonstrated the ability to stretch the field vertically while also creating separation in intermediate routes. His production and skill set helped elevate his recruiting profile nationally, ultimately earning him four-star status among major recruiting services.
Powell originally committed to Ole Miss earlier in the recruiting cycle, aligning with the Rebels’ explosive offensive system in the SEC. However, recruiting decisions often evolve as players continue to evaluate program fit, coaching relationships, and long-term development opportunities.
His commitment to Oregon State signals a major addition for the Beavers’ future offense. Oregon State has prioritized recruiting speed and versatility at the wide receiver position, and Powell’s skill set fits that mold well.
For Sacramento-area football, Powell’s recruitment is another example of the region’s continued pipeline to major college programs. Folsom, in particular, has established itself as one of Northern California’s premier football programs, regularly sending athletes to Division I schools across the country.
As Powell prepares to close out his high school career, attention will turn toward his final season at Folsom and how he continues to develop before making the jump to the collegiate level.
