Two of Lane Kiffin’s top recruits at Ole Miss will not follow him to LSU and will stay put.
On Monday, QB Trinidad Chambliss announced that he was planning on returning to Ole Miss next season pending an NCAA eligibility waiver.
“From the moment I arrived at Ole Miss, Oxford has truly felt like home for me and my family. I give all glory and honor to God for His guidance and faithfulness throughout this journey. This season has meant so much to me, especially because of the brothers I get to line up with every day and the unwavering love and support of the Oxford community. My teammates are family, and together we share a common goal, to bring a championship home to Ole Miss.”

Ole Miss fans immediately mocked Lane Kiffin for not being able to convince two of his former star players to come with him to LSU.
