Ole Miss Scores 2026 Game-Changer: Lane Kiffin Secures Elite 4-Star Wide Receiver Who Could Redefine the Program
Ole Miss football came heartbreakingly close to punching their ticket to the College Football Playoff last season—just a few plays away from making history. But with Jaxson Dart off to the NFL as a first-rounder, Lane Kiffin finds himself stitching together a new chapter for the Rebels. Enter Corey Barber, a four-star wide receiver from Hoover, Alabama, who just committed to Ole Miss over powerhouses like Alabama and Georgia. Now here’s the kicker—Barber won’t be hitting that Oxford turf until 2026, but this pickup already sets the stage for what could be a fireworks show down the road. Meanwhile, all eyes are on sophomore QB Austin Simmons—could he be the guy to connect with Barber and finally get Ole Miss over the hump? The wait for that deep playoff run continues, but with each move Kiffin makes, you can’t help but wonder: is this the start of something bigger, or just another near miss?
LEARN MOREOle Miss football was on the verge of making into their first College Football Playoff last season. Then, a couple of heartbreaking losses led to them missing out. Quarterback Jaxson Dart was a first round draft pick in the NFL Draft a couple of weeks ago, and head coach Lane Kiffin is looking to retool his roster. Although his latest addition won’t boost the team until 2026, it was still a big pickup for Kiffin. According to Hayes Fawcett from On3, the Ole Miss football program has reeled in four-star wide receiver Corey Barber. Fawcett posted the news on X, formerly Twitter.
