Lane Kiffin is expected to hire a familiar face to be the Ole Miss’ next cornerbacks coach, with reports pointing to former Western Kentucky CB coach Keynodo Hudson heading to Oxford for the 2023 season.

Hudson worked under Kiffin as a defensive assistant during his short stint as USC’s head coach. He followed Kiffin to FAU in 2017, left for Illinois in the same position in 2019 and finally ended up at Western Kentucky in 2021. There, he led the Hilltoppers secondary to a No. 1 rank in total interceptions in 2021 across Conference USA.

Hudson will be replacing Sam Carter, who was hired to the same position at Purdue under new HC Ryan Walters.

Ole Miss recently hired Wes Neighbors as its new safeties coach last week.
