Ivy hails from Duncanville, Texas, and is listed at 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds. He’s rated the No. 68 strong-side defensive end and the No. 1,129 prospect nationally, per 247 Sports.
He also had scholarship offers from Ole Miss, UNR and Memphis — among others — and helped Duncanville in 2019 reach Texas’ 6A Division I state championship game.
The Rebels have eight players in their 2021 recruiting class. Four had scholarship offers from Power Five programs.
