The Rebels brought in one of the top transfer portal classes in the country because Kiffin wants to match the physicality of teams like Alabama and Georgia.
Lane Kiffin brought in one of the top transfer portal classes in all of college football this offseason with names like former Texas A&M 5-star Walter Nolen, Princely Umanmielen, Antwane Wells Jr. and former Alabama defensive back Trey Amos.
Kiffin revealed on Monday at SEC Media Days that a big part of his portal strategy was so that Ole Miss could compete with and have rosters simililarly built to Alabama and Georgia. "You know, both Kirby and Coach Saban, you learn from Coach Saban there is an impact profile they recruit to of size. That's not easy to do everywhere. Everybody would love to have every player 6'5". I do think we addressed that."
Because of Ole Miss' strong portal class along with their returning starters, like quarterback Jaxson Dart, the Rebels are getting a lot of preseason hype and expected to be in contention for the College Football Playoff. Kiffin said he has talked to Saban about handling the "rat poison" or preseason expectations.
