Transfer portal: Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin On The Verge Of Adding Elite Defense
The Rebels should see opportunity when looking at the 2024 slate.
Though the SEC adds Oklahoma and Texas for 2024, there is no time like the present for Ole Miss. Cover 3 Podcast host Bud Elliott explained how the program shares that belief, citing a watered-down schedule compared to conference foes as its reason to think 2024 could be the year to make a run. That mindset has been apparent through its approach to the transfer portal and it has made for a hot start as the open market heats up.
“I think they’re going to level up their roster and push all the chips in,” Elliott said. “I think they’re going to land some great players and really throw some cash around.”
Ole Miss has never made the SEC Championship Game. Another strong transfer portal haul could be key. Along with Ole Miss’ approach to the portal, below is a breakdown of the 2024 schedule, the expanded College Football Playoff, intel on which top prospects could end up with the Rebels and others that have already committed to Kiffin.
