Overview

  • LSU announced seven portal additions on Friday, headlined by former Ole Miss lineman Devin Harper and linebacker T.J. Dottery, along with Ohio State safety Faheem Delane and Maryland guard Aliou Bah.
  • Ole Miss is challenging edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen’s attempt to enter the portal, citing a recently signed contract and declining to process his paperwork for now, per 247Sports/CBS Sports.
  • Wide receiver Cayden Lee plans to enter the portal, becoming the 20th player from Ole Miss’ 2025 roster to announce intentions, with LSU viewed as a potential destination once he is officially listed.
  • Local reports tied to Ole Miss allege Lane Kiffin and his staff recruited Rebel players late in the window; these allegations remain unverified and are sourced to program-linked voices.
  • The January portal entry period closed Jan. 16, but commitments can still occur, positioning LSU to continue rapid roster construction under its new head coach.
