Ole Miss is bolstering their defense through the transfer portal, adding several key players to their roster.
Ole Miss is currently holding 17 commitments from transfer players that have come since the portal opened earlier this month. A bulk of these transfers have come on the defensive side of the football where Ole Miss is looking to continue its momentum under defensive coordinator Pete Golding's scheme.

He and Umanmielen being paired with the likes of Suntarine Perkins will help Ole Miss recover from the loss of Princely Umanmielen and Jared Ivey next fall.The Marshall Thundering Herd transfer was a big reason his team secured a Sun Belt title in 2024.
