Overview

  • Multiple outlets citing On3 report Ole Miss sources accusing LSU coach Lane Kiffin of funneling NIL contract information through agents to sow discord and recruit former Rebels.
  • TJ Dottery entered the transfer portal after the leak reports and visited LSU, with Ole Miss sources also linking LSU interest to Devin Harper and a failed push for Kewan Lacy.
  • Defensive end Princewill Umanmielen entered the portal despite re-signing, and On3 reports Ole Miss intends to hold him to his NIL deal though practical enforcement is unclear.
  • LSU holds 247Sports’ No. 1 transfer portal class and Ole Miss is No. 3, intensifying a fight one Rebels source described as “hand-to-hand combat.”
  • As the portal deadline approached, Kiffin posted “#11:59…… drop” on social media, drawing fresh scrutiny following the tampering allegations reported this week.
