Could Ole Miss Football Continue Recruiting Momentum Heading Towards the Grove Bowl

Ole Miss has had a solid start to the 2025 recruitment class, recently picking up a commitment from the No.2 running back, Akylin Dear. Can Lane Kiffin keep up the momentum leading to the Grove Bowl on April 13?

Ole Miss grabbed their second commitment of the 2025 cycle with four-star running back Akylin Dear. The Rebels are front runners for several top prospects, with Kiffin and the staff looking to use the recent recruitment win as momentum.

While Lane Kiffin may be known as the 'Portal King', he has also demonstrated his prowess in recruiting. The recent success in securing Akylin Dear could be the catalyst for a series of top players committing to the Rebels, a testament to the strategic planning of the staff.

Ole Miss Look to Impress Recruits at the annual Grove Bowl

The Ole Miss Football Spring Game will take place on April 13, with several recruits on campus to take it all in.

Four-star tight end DaSaahn Brame is among the notable players who will be visiting during the Grove Bowl. This spring game presents a golden opportunity for Kiffin and the staff to leave a lasting impression on the recruits.

The transfer portal additions were made for a push towards the college football playoffs in 2024. However, seeing future NFL talent such as Princely Umanmielen, Walter Nolen and Antwane Wells is something that sticks in a recruits head.

The new staff that Kiffin has brought in these past months shows the emphasis on coaching talent mixed with recruiting ability. Wide receiver coach George McDonald and tight ends coach Joe Cox are known for their recruiting expertise and ability to get the best out of their position groups. This adds to the already talented staff that Kiffin has assembled.
