Lane Kiffin Reveals Potential Key Position For Ole Miss in Spring Transfer Portal Window

With Diggs on the shelf for an uncertain amount of time, that leaves the Rebels in an interesting spot at the running back position after the departure of bell cow Quinshon Judkins this offseason.

Ulysses Bentley IV, already an established part of the Ole Miss offense, is expected to be "RB1" this fall, but behind him, there are a lot of unproven commodities in the backfield, namely sophomore Kedrick Reescano.

Kiffin was asked point-blank on Tuesday if he believes his team could target the running back position again in the transfer portal, and he was pretty clear with his answer.

"I do; You're going to have another free agency window coming up," Kiffin said. "If you guys look out there and look at our running back position, just like you would in the NFL, you're going to attack free agency at that spot. It is what it is."

Of course, in Kiffin lexicon, "free agency" is a reference to the next portal window, one that will open on April 15.

"There's good and bad to everything," Kiffin said. "The good thing about this really poor system is that you can go fix issues twice a year, but also you may have your own issues, because your own players may be leaving, too, at some other spots that seem to be good right now."
