“Follow your dreams son!! Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.” The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. See, people have a love x hate relationship with Lane Kiffin. That entire tweet war that went down on X because Kiffin pointed his fingers at the committee did shake up the fans. But you have to admit, up to a certain extent, Lane Kiffin was correct. And Ole Miss? Out of all the SEC teams that cracked a Bowl game this season, the Rebels were the only ones who dog-walked their opponent. Lane Kiffin is probably the only HC out there who can talk the talk and walk the walk. However, what happens when he finally has to face his flesh and blood in the gridiron?
And another offer in the bag. Ever since fans started watching tapes of Knox Kiffin playing for Palos Verdes, they knew this kid had “something” in him. Now being the son of the Rebels HC is just another plus point. However, it is Knox’s dedication to “not play” under his father and rather face him on the field that sets him apart. And getting him closer to his goal is another college throwing in their offer. “After a great conversation with @coachbrowndb I am blessed to receive a offer from Western Kentucky University,” Knox wrote in his latest Instagram post. Landry jumped right in to congratulate her brother. “Ur him,” she wrote.

The Hilltoppers have added their names to the already growing list of colleges in pursuit of Knox Kiffin. Now, here is something funny: Did you know, in classing Lane Kiffin fashion, this news was already leaked 10 days back by Lane himself?
“Happy birthday, Knox!! So blessed. Excited you’re coming back to the South where it all started 16 years ago!!!” Lane had shared on X on Knox’s birthday. “Back to the South,” do we really have to say anything more? Lane is on full blast to bring his entire family closer to Oxford at this point.
Landry is already there, and we also found out back during Landry’s birthday that Lane’s ex-wife, Layla, was also moving in with the family. “Glad you’re finally moving here with us!!!” Lane had mentioned. Is the Kiffin family legacy starting at Oxford? Man, this should have fans on the edge of their seats. But hey, about Knox, with 3 offers up his sleeve now, does WKU even have a shot at landing this QB?
2 more programs awaiting Knox’s response

“Way to keep us on the edge of our seats Committee …. Riveting,” was what Lane had to say back when SMU had their 28-point loss against Penn State. Arguably one of the most “boring” games out of all the other playoff showdowns…But fate has a weird way of slamming things in your face.
“After a great camp and conversation with coach @deriqking I’m blessed to have earned a offer to SMU,” was what Knox had shared back in June. The Mustangs were the first to send their offer to Lane’s son, and it is hilarious that Lane was out there trolling this team. Regardless, being one of the few teams that made the playoff cut, the Mustangs could easily snag Knox in.
But hey, if Knox wants to fulfill his wish of “facing his father” then SMU won’t be the best place. Rather, the Razorbacks make more sense. Arkansas has also sent an offer for Knox and this pairing kind of clicks. The Razorbacks are destined to face the Rebels during the regular season, so it is perfect for Knox.
