Overview

  • Redshirt junior T.J. Dottery committed to join Lane Kiffin at LSU, becoming the third Rebel to head to Baton Rouge after freshman lineman Devin Harper and wide receiver Winston Watkins Jr., per On3.
  • Ole Miss edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen entered the portal despite re-signing, and the Rebels are contesting his exit by not processing his paperwork due to a recent contract, according to CBS Sports reporting.
  • LSU also landed Maryland transfer offensive lineman Aliou Bah on Friday and now holds the No. 1 transfer class for 2026, per 247Sports.
  • On3’s Ben Garrett reported that contract details leaked through agents tied to Kiffin, with Ole Miss sources alleging he aimed to “destroy” their locker room; no formal enforcement action has been taken.
  • The January portal entry window closed Friday night, and Kiffin posted an “11:59” teaser on social media as LSU continued an aggressive pursuit of former Ole Miss players.
