Lane Kiffin’s Son Takes Visit to Rival SEC Program

Lane Kiffin has had a successful tenure with the Ole Miss Rebels since arriving at the school ahead of the 2020 season.

He has been the head coach of the Rebels for the last five seasons, compiling a 44-18 record. They finished the 2024 season with a 10-3 record and narrowly missed out on a berth in the College Football Playoff.

It was the first year of the 12-team CFP format and will continue for the 2025 season.

Kiffin's son, Knox, plays quarterback for Oxford High School and has started taking official school visits. He is on the Alabama Crimson Tide's campus this weekend, one of the Rebels' biggest rivals.

He is checking everything out, even though he is in no rush to commit to a school. He is part of the 2028 recruiting class but isn't ranked.

The Tide always have one of the country's top recruiting classes every year and are getting a head start for 2028. As for their 2026 class, they currently have the No. 49 class in the nation per 247Sports, but that will change once they get more players to commit.

They only have seven commits in the class, but it's still super early. The 2025 season will be Kalen DeBoer's second season as head coach after he took over for Nick Saban ahead of the 2024 season.

He led the Tide to a 9-4 record last season and will try to get them back competing for national championships when the 2025 season starts in August.
