Ole Miss to host Florida commit, flip target for Rebels’ game against Gators
Published:
In college football this weekend, there’s a program hosting a commit of the team it’s playing against, and yet somehow that storyline will likely be largely ignored.
Ole Miss will be welcoming 4-star safety and current Florida commit Kaiden Hall for a visit to watch the Rebels and Gators clash at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday night, which would generally create plenty of speculation.
But with the ongoing saga surrounding Lane Kiffin‘s potential connection to the open Florida coaching position, Hall’s presence likely won’t demand the headlines it usually would.
Still, while most eyes will be on Kiffin and his interactions with Florida staffers/players, Hall is certainly a key piece of the puzzle as well. The Milton, Florida native stands at an imposing 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, which would be considered an ideal frame to many secondary coaches in the SEC.
Hall took an unofficial visit to Gainesville in late May and committed on June 3, but he took visits to Alabama and Oklahoma before checking out Florida State as recently as Oct. 3. Hall holds offers from a wide range of SEC schools, and he’s one of 19 players still locked in to Florida’s 2026 class.
Kiffin’s movement or lack thereof could have a direct impact on Hall’s commitment, adding yet another layer to Saturday night’s game.
