“Our whole staff’s done a great job,” Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said during his Signing Day press conference. “(Defensive coordinator) Pete (Golding) has always been a relentless recruiter. Pete’s been unbelievable. He’s done a really good job of improving our defense on the field and now. His relationships with players from previous recruiting went a long way, too.”
