Knox Kiffin, a 2028 quarterback recruit and the son of Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, is set to visit Tuscaloosa on Saturday for Alabama‘s big primetime SEC showdown against LSU, according to a report by Rivals on Friday night.
While his father’s team hosts The Citadel in a 1 p.m. ET kickoff on SEC Network+, Knox Kiffin, who stars for Oxford High School right down the road from Ole Miss, will apparently be heading to Alabama to be courted by the Crimson Tide. Bama hosts rival LSU in a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff on ABC, and that’s reportedly where the younger Kiffin will be as he continues his recruiting process.
Knox Kiffin is a 6-foot-2, 170-pound quarterback who doesn’t have any rankings yet from the 247Sports Composite rankings system as he plays his sophomore season at Oxford High School.
The reported visit to Alabama on Saturday wouldn’t be Kiffin’s first to 1 of Ole Miss’s SEC rivals. Earlier this fall, Rivals also reported that Kiffin visited LSU in Week 7.
Kiffin had also previously gotten offers from Arkansas State, FIU, East Carolina and SMU, among other programs.
But on Saturday night, Kiffin will reportedly be on hand at 1 of the country’s biggest blue-blood programs as Alabama faces LSU in the continuation of a bitter rivalry.
