Landry Kiffin, the daughter of Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin, was in attendance at LSU‘s Booster Club meeting on Thursday. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, her boyfriend, LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, spoke at the event.

Landry Kiffin has been in Baton Rouge throughout this week, Nakos confirmed. This comes after reports and videos that revealed that Kiffin’s family was in town touring the city on Monday.

LSU has several booster clubs that offer tier-based membership systems. These entities help aid programs such as gymnastics, swimming & diving, women’s basketball and more.

Her attendance at the event comes at a time when Landry Kiffin’s father is reported to be a top target for the open LSU coaching job. However, Lane Kiffin currently holds the same position for Ole Miss and has the Rebels 10-1 and in line for a College Football Playoff berth.

Kiffin’s name has also been tied to the Florida job. His family is reported to have also toured Gainesville on Sunday before traveling to Baton Rouge the following day.

Landry Kiffin has been publicly dating LSU LB Whit Weeks since the week of the Ole Miss-LSU game, which took place on Sept. 27. Ole Miss would emerge victorious in that matchup with a 24-19 win over a then-top five Tigers team.

It was LSU’s first loss of the season after a 4-1 start. The Tigers fired former head coach Brian Kelly one month later on Oct. 26, one day following their 49-25 loss to Texas A&M at home. The loss dropped the Tigers to 5-3 at the time.

Meanwhile, Kiffin’s Rebels started the season with a 6-0 record before losing its first game to Georgia in mid-October. Ole Miss has since won its last four games and has one game left to play in its regular season schedule — the Egg Bowl vs. Mississippi State.

It’s unclear whether Ole Miss will qualify for the SEC Championship game as of now — a matchup that won’t be decided until the final week of the season. At 11-1 overall, however, many feel as though the odds are in the Rebels’ favor to make the CFP. That is, if they can best their rival on the road.

But first, Kiffin and his Rebels will enjoy their bye during Week 13. When Ole Miss returns for Week 14, they’re set to battle the Bulldogs on Friday, Nov. 28 at Noon ET.
