Knox Kiffin is a member of the 2028 class, and he just led the Oxford High School Chargers to a deep run in the Mississippi playoffs. He's now set to follow his father to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Knox Kiffin reacted to his father's decision to join LSU with a heartfelt message. He wrote,

"thank you oxford 🫶.”

Knox Kiffin is a promising shot caller, but he still has some time to go before he starts playing collegiate football. He'll look to continue impressing so he can begin to for his father with the LSU Tigers, potentially.

Lane Kiffin continues career in stacked SEC

Lane Kiffin is set to coach his fifth team in college football. The LSU Tigers will be the third SEC team in that haul, following stints with the Tennessee Volunteers and Ole Miss Rebels.

Kiffin began his head-coaching career in the NFL with the then-Oakland Raiders. However, he was fired after a 1-3 start to the 2008 NFL season. He got the HC role at Tennessee for the 2009 season.

Kiffin guided the Volunteers to a 7-6 record before stunningly jumping ship to coach the USC Trojans. Kiffin lasted just over three seasons in South California before being shown the door after a 3-2 start in 2013.

Then there was his three-season stint with the Florida Atlantic Owls. Kiffin recorded a 26–13 record with the program coaching in the Conference USA. However, the pull of coaching in the SEC was too great.

Kiffin joined the Ole Miss Rebels ahead of the 2020 season. He recorded a 55–19 record in Oxford and will now continue his career across the conference with the LSU Tigers.
