In a major move that could significantly boost Ole Miss’ offensive arsenal, a former Miami Hurricanes running back has announced his decision to transfer to the Rebels. The talented back, known for his explosive speed and versatility, is set to bring a dynamic presence to Lane Kiffin’s offense, which has built a reputation for being one of the most exciting in college football.

 

The running back, who entered the transfer portal following the 2024 season, was a standout performer during his time with the Hurricanes. In his final season at Miami, he rushed for over 800 yards and added another 250 yards receiving, showcasing his ability as both a ground threat and a reliable option in the passing game. With Ole Miss losing key contributors to graduation and the NFL, his arrival couldn’t come at a better time.

 

Kiffin, known for his ability to maximize the talent of his players, played a pivotal role in securing the transfer. “Ole Miss is a program that aligns with my goals,” the running back said in his announcement. “Coach Kiffin’s vision for how I can contribute to the offense, along with the family atmosphere in Oxford, made this decision the right one for me.”

 

The move also reflects Kiffin’s aggressive approach to building his roster through the transfer portal. Ole Miss has consistently been among the top programs in attracting elite talent from other schools, and this addition further cements that reputation. The running back’s skill set fits seamlessly into the Rebels’ offensive scheme, which emphasizes versatility and explosive plays.

 

The decision came after heavy interest from other schools, including SEC rivals and several ACC programs. However, the opportunity to play in the SEC, paired with the chance to compete for a featured role in one of the most innovative offenses in the country, ultimately swayed the running back’s decision in favor of Ole Miss.

 

For the Rebels, this move bolsters a backfield that already boasts talent but needed additional depth and experience. His ability to make defenders miss in open space and contribute as a pass-catcher will add another layer to Ole Miss’ attack, making them even more difficult to defend in 2025.

 

As Ole Miss gears up for another season in the highly competitive SEC, the addition of this former Miami standout could be a game-changer. Rebels fans can expect to see him play a significant role as Kiffin continues his quest to elevate the program to new heights.
