In addition to three-star athlete Zion Legree, Powell is the second recruit in Kiffin’s 2026 class, as Lane Kiffin’s class for 2026 is still modest.

Despite having nearly 20 offers such as Washington, Arizona, Oregon, Powell selected Ole Miss. As they met several of his requirements. Thanks to the coaches. “The coaches are great. They recruited me hard, they made me feel wanted and they will help me develop. My parents helped me a lot too. They love the coaches, they felt comfortable with my decision and we all felt good about this,” Powell remarked.

Nowadays, there isn’t really an offseason, and with so many recruiting pitches available, a program must be able to “turn it up” in order to stand out and advance. Lane Kiffin is an expert at it, as is his crew. Through the transfer portal, they now have another elite receiver.

Harrison Wallace III left PSU and went via the transfer portal as a result of the wide receiver’s abysmal performance in the Orange Bowl defeat to Notre Dame. Wallace then committed to play his final season of college at Ole Miss on Sunday, joining Lane Kiffin.

In the first season under OC Andy Kotelnicki, in 2024, Wallace was the top wide receiver at Penn State. He caught a career-high 46 catches for 720 yards and four scores, but Tyler Warren, the Mackey Award-winning TE, led them.
