In a bold move to reshape the Ole Miss Rebels for the upcoming 2025 season, head coach Lane Kiffin has made significant strides in the transfer portal, securing commitments from several key players during the first week of the window. This aggressive approach aims to bolster the team’s depth and competitiveness, addressing critical areas affected by departures to the NFL and other programs.
One of the most notable acquisitions is wide receiver Caleb Odom, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound transfer from Alabama. Originally a top tight end recruit, Odom transitioned to wide receiver and played in all 12 games for the Crimson Tide as a freshman. His size and versatility are expected to add a dynamic element to the Rebels’ receiving corps .

Complementing Odom’s addition is the commitment of Harrison Wallace III, a standout wide receiver from Penn State. Wallace led the Nittany Lions with 46 receptions for 720 yards and four touchdowns in the 2024 season. His experience and proven track record make him a valuable asset to the Rebels’ offense .

To address the quarterback position, Ole Miss secured Pierce Clarkson, a dual-threat quarterback transferring from Louisville.
