Lane Kiffin has made a habit of collecting transfer portal assets at LSU. And the latest one just might be his most expensive yet. The former Ole Miss coach has been unapologetically raiding his old program’s roster. But when you’re building what’s become the nation’s top-ranked transfer portal class, a $550,000 price tag for an elite pass rusher is a bargain.

Princewill Umanmielen officially entered the transfer portal on Tuesday. And according to 247Sports’ Chase Parham, the Ole Miss defensive end is expected to land at LSU. The catch? Whatever school secures his signature will owe the Rebels approximately $550,000 in buyout compensation. This was a price tag attached because Umanmielen had signed a new contract with Ole Miss earlier this month before deciding to bolt.

Ole Miss initially fought his transfer entry, disputing his paperwork as the deadline approached. But ultimately they couldn’t prevent one of their most productive defenders from hitting the open market. For LSU, that $550,000 represents just another line item in what’s become college football’s most aggressive roster overhaul. Lane Kiffin is securing commitments from former Ole Miss recruits and transfers alike in his mission to turn the Tigers into instant national championship contenders.
