Knox Kiffin and Lane Kiffin’s latest LSU chapter
Knox Kiffin, Lane Kiffin’s youngest child, is a quarterback at University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge and a Class of 2028 college football recruit. ESPN lists him as a quarterback in the 2028 recruiting class, while recent recruiting reports show growing interest from college programs.
Lane Kiffin became LSU’s 37th head football coach in November 2025 after six seasons at Ole Miss. He made his LSU debut against Clemson on September 5, 2026, in the Tigers’ season opener.
His first game also came during an ongoing eligibility dispute involving former Ole Miss players Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris. Both players had brief NFL stints before seeking to return to college football at LSU. A Louisiana judge issued a preliminary injunction allowing them to remain eligible while the case continues.
Despite the ruling, LSU did not include Wright or Harris on its roster for the Clemson opener. The SEC has also filed a federal lawsuit against LSU and Kiffin over the dispute.
