One day after saying his recruitment was closed, Choctaw County four-star recruit Ben'Jarvius Shumaker has flipped his college commitment.
Shumaker announced on June 23 that he has committed to Colorado football and Deion Sanders, after a post on X. The defensive lineman was originally committed to Ole Miss since March 6.
The four-star is ranked No. 70 nationally and is the No. 7 defensive lineman, according to 247Sports Composite. He is also the No. 2 overall player in Mississippi in the 2027 class.
On June 22, Schumaker had a social media post with an Ole Miss graphic that said "Sip Made, Sip Stayed. Recruitment Shutdown." That post has since been deleted from his social media accounts.
Schumaker was the highest-ranked recruit in Ole Miss' class. After his departure, four-star quarterback Keegan Croucher (No. 150 composite nationally and No. 5 player in Tennessee) is the highest-ranked class of 2027 player for the Rebels.
The 6-foot-3, 270-pound rising senior had an official visit to Colorado on June 19. Some of Shumaker's offers included Mississippi State, Auburn, Alabama, Texas A&M and Miami, among others.
During the 2025 season, Shumaker produced 113 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks and recovered two fumbles, helping Choctaw County to a 7-5 record. In his sophomore season, the Mustangs won the MHSAA 3A title over Noxubee County.
Shumaker is the second commit from the state following Brookhaven offensive lineman Coderro McDaniel. Colorado also flipped McDaniel from Ole Miss after he was committed to the Rebels.
