Ole Miss announced the signing of eight players to its 2027 soccer class Wednesday. The recruits come from Arizona, California, Idaho, Kansas, Texas and Utah.

The class includes five forwards — Avery Lathen, Brea Lewis, Samantha Mathis, Myka Page and Amy Tan — along with goalkeeper Caitlyn Wendell, defender Makayla Wilson and midfielder Mia Mosher.

Coach Todd Shulenberger said the group addresses needs as the program continues to develop. He cited the recruits’ athleticism and attacking potential in the Southeastern Conference.

Several players arrive with notable high school production. Lathen, a forward from Lewiston, Idaho, scored 34 goals and totaled 85 points as a junior at Lewiston High School. Her goal total ranked third in Idaho, and her points ranked second, according to Ole Miss. She earned first-team all-state and All-Inland Empire League honors.

She was named the playoff MVP and had 15 goals and 10 assists as a junior. As a senior, she recorded 29 goals, 13 assists and 71 points, which ranked seventh in the state.

Lewis was named District 23-5A MVP after scoring 12 goals and adding four assists for Hendrickson High School in Texas. Mosher, from Shawnee Mission East in Kansas, earned Class 6A co-midfielder of the year and first-team all-state honors in 2026.
