Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin secured a major addition to his roster when former Alabama wide receiver Caleb Odom announced his transfer to the Rebels.
Odom’s decision marks a significant transfer portal win for Ole Miss, and Kiffin wasted no time celebrating – with some pointed jabs at Alabama along the way.
Odom, who entered the transfer portal on Dec. 10, confirmed his commitment to Ole Miss via social media.
Shortly after, Kiffin shared a video reposted from @DiehardsAlabama, which initially praised Odom, stating he “is going to be a problem” for the Crimson Tide.
By resharing the video, Kiffin added a subtle layer of irony, highlighting how Odom is now poised to cause trouble for Alabama as part of the Rebels’ squad.
Kiffin also shared multiple posts celebrating Odom’s commitment, which comes as the Rebels continue to stack talent through the transfer portal.
As a true freshman at Alabama, Odom appeared in all 12 games, recording seven receptions for 65 yards.
The former four-star prospect from Carrollton, Georgia, was ranked as the No. 54 overall player in the 2024 recruiting cycle.
Odom, now ranked No. 73 overall and the No. 18 wide receiver in the latest transfer rankings, brings three years of eligibility to Ole Miss.
His addition marks the 10th transfer portal commitment for the Rebels in this cycle, further solidifying their standing as one of the most aggressive and successful programs in the portal era.
Odom joins a growing list of high-profile transfers heading to Oxford, with former Nebraska edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen leading the charge.
Umanmielen, the No. 8-ranked player in the transfer rankings, transferred after two seasons at Nebraska. During his time with the Cornhuskers, he tallied 35 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks over two seasons.
Ole Miss currently holds the No. 2-ranked transfer class. This success reflects Kiffin’s ability to strike a balance between traditional high school recruiting and mining the portal for top-tier talent.
With the addition of Odom and a slew of other impact players, the Rebels are poised to make waves in the SEC once again in 2025.
As the transfer window progresses, Kiffin and his program are proving they are masters of navigating the new era of college football.
