The Ole Miss football program is trying to re-establish their reputation on the defensive side of the ball with newly-hired defensive coordinators DJ Durkin and Chris Partridge. And now they have welcomed in a second transfer in as many days with the addition of Navy outside linebacker/safety Jacob Springer.
The Riverside, Mo. native signed with Navy in the 2017 class as a receiver. The 6-foot-1, 206-pounder chose the Midshipmen over notable offers from Army, Colgate, North Dakota State, and South Dakota State.
Springer chose to transfer to Ole Miss over notable interest from Illinois, Memphis, Michigan, Missouri, Notre Dame, Texas, Wisconsin, UCLA among several others.
