On the other side of Lane Kiffin getting ruthlessly booed by furious Ole Miss fans is him getting cheered by LSU die-hards.
And it was just hours into his tenure as Tigers head coach that he faced the cheers with a recruit — that would be Lamar Brown, a defensive tackle who is the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2026. Sounds like Brown will be wearing the purple and gold, perhaps thanks in part to Kiffin closing the deal?
Brown and Kiffin snapped photos together and appeared in a video not long after the move to LSU was official:

LSU head coach Lane Kiffin landed in Baton Rouge roughly an hour ago.
Now, he’s already hitting the recruiting trail after an in-person meeting with the No. 1 prospect in America: Lamar Brown.
The 5-star LSU commit will sign with the Tigers on Wednesday.
