The Ole Miss Rebels and head coach Lane Kiffin are coming off a relatively successful season. Overall, they went 10-3, 5-3 in SEC games and finished the year on a good note, beating the Duke Blue Devils 52-20 in the Gator Bowl.

Ole Miss has signed another defensive back out of the transfer portal as the Rebels build on their elite transfer class in 2025.

Ole Miss should be content with Austin Simmons replacing starting quarterback Jaxson Dart, who is expected to enter the 2025 NFL Draft. Still, fifth-year coach Lane Kiffin wanted to grab a good insurance policy and potentially found that in Clarkson, a once-sought-after highly-touted prospect.

LSU, Texas and Ole Miss are among the programs leading the 247Sports team rankings for portal commits. Tigers coach Brian Kelly urged boosters and LSU supporters after the season to help the cause in 2025 and has said he'll match any individual donation up to $1 million.

Oklahoma State has picked up another commitment in the transfer portal. On Thursday, Jaylon “Trip” White announced his commitment to the Cowboys. White spent the first three seasons of his career at Ole Miss and enters Stillwater with two years of eligibility remaining.
