Scouting Report
Andrew Maddox is a 4-star Defensive Line from Hattiesburg, MS (Oak Grove) in the 2025 class. Ranked No. 228 nationally. Composite rating: 0.9177. Committed to University of Mississippi.
Physical Profile
Listed at 6-3, 285 lbs. Taller than 37% and heavier than 59% of 2025 Defensive Line prospects in the SEC Scouts database (144 with a listed size).
Play Style
Based on his rating profile, Maddox likely demonstrates flashes of dominant play with the athletic ability to impact games, though consistency may be a developmental focus. His Oak Grove high school program suggests exposure to quality competition within Mississippi prep football.
Strengths
- Strong composite rating (0.9177) indicates legitimate Power 5 talent despite limited recruiting exposure
- Mississippi pedigree playing high school football in a talent-rich state known for producing quality linemen
- Early commitment to Ole Miss suggests strong relationship-building skills and program fit
Areas to Improve
- Limited recruiting momentum evident by lack of multiple P5 offers despite 4-star rating
- Needs to expand technical repertoire and consistency to match his athletic gifts
College Projection
Projects as a redshirt candidate who could develop into a rotational contributor by sophomore year, with potential to earn starting role by junior season if he adds strength and refines technique. His 4-star rating suggests multi-year starter upside in the SEC.
NFL Outlook
While possessing 4-star talent, his current recruiting profile suggests he'll need significant college development to reach NFL consideration. Could emerge as a late-round prospect if he maximizes his physical tools and becomes a consistent SEC performer.
Best Fit
Ole Miss appears an excellent landing spot where he can develop under quality coaching while competing in elite competition. Would thrive in programs that emphasize player development and can maximize his athletic traits through strength and conditioning programs.
Player Comparison

Both were solid 4-star recruits from talent-rich Southern states who committed to Ole Miss, showing flashes of dominance but needing consistency development to reach their full potential at the next level.
