Visitors List: Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss hosting top recruits for SEC showdown with Kentucky

OXFORD, Miss. — The Rebels (4-0, 0-0 SEC) have taken care of business in the non-conference portion of the season, but now it’s time for SEC play to begin. Ole Miss heads into Week 5 with an early 11:00 a.m. kick-off as Kentucky comes to town, looking to shake up things in the ‘Sip. But the Wildcats will be going head-to-head against one of the nation’s best offenses and defenses as the Rebels are excelling on both sides of the ball. Many of the Rebels’ top recruiting targets will be on hand to watch the game.

As ‘the greatest show on turf’ is about to turn it up a notch with conference play starting, many of the nation’s top prospects will be in town getting a taste of what life could be like as an Ole Miss Rebel.

Make no mistake, the program that head coach Lane Kiffin and staff are building is elite when it comes to the x’s and o’s, but the Rebels’ culture and care for their athletes is another main reason why so many of the nation’s best athletes are flocking this way.

So let’s take a look at who we can expect for the SEC Showdown in Oxford.

2025 Ole Miss Commit Hayden Bradley out of Buford High School in Georgia will be the Rebels’ lone official visit, but have no fear as the best of the best will be here Saturday on unofficial visits. Bradley will have a great opportunity to continue playing an instrumental role in recruiting some of these prospects this weekend.
