2028 quarterback Knox Kiffin is still very early in his recruiting process, but the Oxford (Miss.) passer and and son of Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is drawing attention as a prospect.

The signal-caller landed his first Power Four offer last May from SMU. He’s since added offers from Arkansas State, Western Kentucky, Georgia State, Sacramento State, Murray State and most recently FIU.

And more Power 4 programs are beginning to take notice. Kiffin will visit LSU this weekend for its game against South Carolina, he announced Sunday. The Tigers haven’t extended him an offer, but clearly have enough interest to bring him to campus as a young potential prospect.

The 6-foot, 170-pounder played sparingly as a freshman last year at Palos Verdes (Calif.) before transferring to Oxford ahead of his sophomore campaign. This year, he has appeared on one game for Oxford, according to his MaxPreps page.

In that limited action, he completed 4 of 7 passes for 109 yards, while rushing three times for yards and a touchdown. The Chargers are off to a 5-1 start behind junior quarterback Drew Dean, one of the top passers in the state.

Connections between Kiffins and LSU program

While Kiffin is in Baton Rouge, his dad will not be joining him as the Rebels play Saturday against Washington State. But the family has a unique connection to the LSU program. Kiffin’s sister, Landry, is dating Tigers linebacker Whit Weeks.

The two announced their relationship on social media in the days prior to the LSU-Ole Miss game last month. Lane Kiffin took to X soon after and made a proclamation. “Take the over,” he said, hinting at a high-scoring matchup.

Ultimately, the Rebels won in a 24-19 slugfest, giving the Kiffins bragging rights. After the game, Kiffin trolled Weeks in his postgame interview with ESPN’s Molly McGrath.

“I’m looking for Whit right now to see if we covered the over,” Kiffin said.

The Weeks family, particularly Whit’s little sister, was not happy about Landry Kiffin rooting for her dad’s team and not her boyfriend’s.

ESPN’s Sean McDonough shared a hilarious anecdote about Weeks’ younger sister.

“Whit told us his 12-year-old sister, the youngest of the four children in the family, is very upset that Landry is not cheering for Whit, her boyfriend,” McDonough said during the first quarter. “It’s blood you’re talking about, Landry and her Dad.”
