Lane Kiffin, the head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels, proudly supported his son, Knox Kiffin, a 2028 quarterback prospect, as he attended a football camp at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
The visit, which took place over last weekend, marked a significant step in Knox’s burgeoning recruitment journey, drawing attention from college football programs across the country.
Kiffin, who served as Alabama’s offensive coordinator from 2014 to 2016 and helped lead the Crimson Tide to a national championship in 2015, shared his enthusiasm by posting photos and a video clip of Knox’s experience on social media, including a picture with current Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson.My daughter (Landry) ended up moving here by choice in high school from Manhattan Beach, California to Oxford, Mississippi to come live with me,” Kiffin said on The Pivot.
“I don’t think that would’ve happened before. And now, my son is doing it by choice. And then my daughter stayed here for college when she could’ve gone other places.”His performance at Alabama’s camp, where he worked alongside other quarterback prospects and the Alabama staff, further highlights his potential as a signal-caller. Lane Kiffin’s posts, including a humorous Instagram story captioned “Pov: Coach Kiffin,” showcased Knox mimicking his father’s media presence, adding a lighthearted touch to the visit.
The camp visit stirred buzz across the SEC, given Lane Kiffin’s history with Alabama and his current role as head coach of rival Ole Miss. While it’s unclear whether Lane was taking the photos in Tuscaloosa or shared photos sent to him, his social media activity underscores his support for Knox’s exploration of opportunities, even at a rival program.

As Knox continues to develop, with a sophomore season ahead at Oxford High, speculation grows about whether he might follow in his father’s footsteps at Alabama or potentially join his dad’s Ole Miss Rebels, where Lane has hinted at recruiting him. For now, the Alabama camp serves as an early milestone in Knox’s recruitment, with Lane proudly cheering him on.
Knox, a 6-foot-2, 170-pound quarterback from Oxford High School in Mississippi, is emerging as a notable talent in the 2028 recruiting class.
