Two Ole Miss defensive players enter transfer portal after change at defensive coordinator

Only 24 hours from the breaking news that former Alabama defensive coordinator Pete Golding would take the same job at Ole Miss, two defensive standouts have announced intent to transfer.

Davison Igbinosun and Tysheem Johnson both announced via Twitter they would enter the transfer portal. Both players played integral roles in Chris Partridge’s defense at Ole Miss this past season.

Johnson totaled 78 tackles in the 2022 season, but he also tallied 47 tackles, one sack and an interception in the 2021 season. The Philadelphia, Pa. native seemingly had some local ties with Partridge and will be looking for a new destination.
