Ole Miss came up just short of playing for a national championship, but there’ll be at least one Rebel with championship game experience under their belt.
Former Miami offensive lineman Tommy Kinsler IV has committed to Ole Miss less than a week after the Hurricanes lost to Indiana in the College Football Playoff national championship game.
According to Latish Kinsler, uncle and agent for the younger Kinsler, the newest Rebel is being “penciled in” at right tackle, he said to 247Sports’ Brian Dohn.
Based on who Ole Miss lost and gained in the portal, Kinsler would figure to be a contender to start at either of the tackle spots. If Kinsler ends up at right tackle, that could mean former LSU lineman Carius Curne could be the left tackle and Ole Miss keeps the same interior offensive line.
Cayden Lee Commits to Missouri
On Sunday, wide receiver Cayden Lee committed to Missouri.
This was surprising since multiple reports stated Lee would return to Ole Miss if quarterback Trinidad Chambliss is successful at obtaining another year of eligibility.
Either those reports were wrong or that plan is still in place and Lee will decommit from Missouri if Chambliss gets another year.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Lee was one of the team’s top receivers over the past two seasons, hauling in 44 passes for 635 yards and three touchdowns this year. That followed a sophomore campaign where he was second on the team in receptions (57) and third in receiving yards (874)
