Lane Kiffin Kicks Out Oxford Mayor’s Son for Another Kicker

Lane Kiffin has given a recruit the boot, and not just any recruit. The Ole Miss head coach pulled out the rug from beneath the feet of the Oxford Mayor’s son to bring a different kicker to the Southeastern Conference campus.

Jack Tannehill — the son of Oxford Mayor Robyn Tannehill — committed to play for his hometown school in June of 2019. Rated as five-star recruit by Kohl’s Kicking, a recruiting service dedicated exclusively to the specialists, Tannehill did not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Wednesday night Tannehill unexpectedly announced he was reopening his recruitment.
