Ole Miss Rebels Secure Top 3 Transfer Portal Class
16 Jan
Summary
- Ole Miss holds the nation's second-ranked Transfer Portal class with 17 signees.
- Running back Kewan Lacy announced his return for the 2026 season.
- Wide receiver Darrell Gill Jr., a top portal prospect, committed to the Rebels.
Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels have significantly bolstered their roster through the Transfer Portal, achieving a top-three national ranking for their incoming class. This success stems from a strategic approach to both retaining existing talent and actively recruiting new players, carrying momentum from their recent College Football Playoff appearance.
The program's efforts were amplified when star running back Kewan Lacy confirmed his return for the 2026 season. Lacy, who recorded an impressive 1,567 yards and 24 touchdowns in the past season, expressed confidence in the team's future. His decision appears to have inspired other players, with kicker Lucas Carneiro noting the team's strong foundation.
Notably, Ole Miss secured the commitment of wide receiver Darrell Gill Jr., ranked as the No. 6 portal receiver. Gill, a 6-foot-3 pass-catcher, brings a proven track record with over 500 receiving yards in his last two seasons. His addition, among 17 portal signees, places the Rebels' class at No. 2 nationally, trailing only LSU.
