Keene will mark the first transfer portal quarterback that Ole Miss has hosted in this cycle, and it was presumed that coach Lane Kiffin and staff would look at the transfer market for another piece in that room after Walker Howard departed via the portal, eventually signing with the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns.

Princewill Umanmielen, the brother of Ole Miss defensive lineman Princely Umanmielen, entered the transfer portal with two years of eligibility after spending the early years of his college career with Nebraska. He has now committed to the Rebels and will look to have the same success as his older brother.

Ole Miss football is taking an offensive lineman from the transfer portal. Former Arkansas star Patrick Kutas is heading to Oxford.
