As Lane Kiffin and newly-hired Ole Miss defensive coordinator Pete Golding attempt to overhaul the Rebel defense through the transfer portal this offseason, a phrase I’ve heard (and used) often is “move the needle.” While depth, system fit, future potential, etc. are all important, Golding needs to identify and land guys who represent an improvement over the defensive starters Ole Miss rolled out in 2022. While finding those guys has proven difficult so far, on Friday the Rebs gained a commitment from Louisville linebacker Monty Montgomery, an explosive, hard-hitting playmaker with 15 sacks and seven forced fumbles in essentially three seasons for the Cardinals.
