Summary
Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss football have a number of flip targets in their sights with National Signing Day just a month away.
The Ole Miss Spirit’s Ben Garrett and Zach Berry have the latest in a LIVE edition of Talk of Champions, powered by RiverLand Roofing.
Where do things stand with in-state 5-star wide receivers Jace Mathews and Tristen Keys? Will the Rebels make a real push for one or both of Bralan Womack and Deuce Geralds?
Ole Miss is also working to pull 4-star tight end Zayion Cotton from in-state rival Mississippi State. Cotton is similar in build and make-up to Ole Miss tight end Caleb Odom.
Talk of Champions also covers Kiffin coaching rumors and much, much more.
