Life doesn’t always serve up a Hail Mary—sometimes, you just have to take the sack and move on. Ole Miss HC Lane Kiffin felt that in 2024 when his squad missed the playoffs. All in all, it was a challenging year on the field, but off the field, he found solace in his unwavering support system at home. Knox Kiffin, not only carrying the family name but also making waves in college football, has been receiving impressive offers. And get this—his biggest supporter isn’t just his dad, Coach Kiffin; it’s his sister, Landry, who’s his biggest hype woman.
Well, Lane Kiffin’s son, Knox, is wasting no time in making a name for himself at the young age of 16. As the quarterback for Palos Verdes High School, he has become a sensation on social media, and it’s not just because of his famous last name. Knox’s impressive arm talent speaks for itself. In December, Lane added fuel to the hype by posting a video of Knox showcasing his skills during drills. Fans locked in on his arm’s strength, and the buzz took off. College programs? They’re already circling. Despite being a 2028 prospect, Knox has stacked up offers like a seasoned recruit.
And now? Another big one just hit. The HC’s son took to IG to break the news himself, saying, “Blessed to receive an offer from Sacramento State #agtg. ” Now, you know it’s a big thing when people are out there supporting you, and Knox’s comment section reflects it perfectly. Among all the fans, one comment that stood out was his biggest cheerleader, Landry. Watching her little brother kill it in college football while still in high school, she simply commented, “Ayee.”
Moreover, the excitement is justified; after all, this is Knox’s fifth offer in a row. Last year, SMU’s quarterback coach, D’Eriq King, wasted no time in offering Knox a lucrative scholarship, which set off a chain reaction. Shortly after, Arkansas State also extended a football scholarship to the talented freshman.
Even this year has been no different, as Knox continues to attract attention and opportunities. On January 24, he announced on Instagram that he had received an offer from Western Kentucky, saying, “After a great conversation with @coachbrowndb, I am blessed to receive an offer from Western Kentucky University #AGTG.” Later that same month, Georgia State University added to Knox’s growing list of suitors by offering him a scholarship. But ever wonder why there’s so much buzz already around Knox? The answer is pretty simple: it’s his exceptional gameplay.
Knox’s remarkable high school performance
Remember the California State Championship? It wasn’t just a loud event; it became a game that made a bold statement. Despite not dominating the stat sheet, Knox Kiffin, the son of Lane Kiffin, made it evident through his mere presence that he has the potential to become a future star. Palos Verdes didn’t just defeat Twelve Bridges; they completely dismantled them, ending their flawless season with a ruthless 55-19 victory in the CIF California Division 2-A State Bowl Championship. It’s truly brutal to go 14-0 and then be crushed by an 11-5 team in the championship game.
Let’s face it, Knox Kiffin didn’t resemble Peyton Manning out there. This 16-year-old quarterback had limited playing time but still had his moment when he handed off the pigskin to Christian Ries for a 5-yard touchdown. It may not have been a viral highlight, but let’s give credit where it’s due—after all, he’s just a kid making big plays.
Lane Kiffin isn’t one to stay idle. He’s already paving the way for Knox to join Oxford High next summer, bringing him closer to Ole Miss. It’s a smart move, setting him up for success. Knox undeniably possesses genuine talent; his film speaks for itself. Fast forward a few years, and we might find ourselves discussing his leadership at Ole Miss—or another powerhouse—as he leads them to the top.
