Former Miami offensive tackle Tommy Kinsler has committed to Ole Miss out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. He has two years of eligibility remaining.
A transfer portal, On3 has learned. Kinsler was heavily recruited in the portal and the Rebels beat out Auburn, Arkansas and James Madison for his services. He’s the fourth offensive lineman to commit to Ole Miss out of the portal.
Kinsler appeared in 10 games for Miami during the 2024 season. He was also a part of this year’s team that played for the national championship against Indiana as the 6-foot-6, 335 appeared in 12 games. He backed up offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa in 2025.
Before college, Kinsler was a three-star recruit according to the Rivals Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. he was the No. 589 overall player and the 34th-ranked offensive tackle in the 2023 recruiting class.
His commitment is good news for the Rebels, who are losing major production at the offensive tackle position. Diego Pounds and Jayden Williams are off to chase a professional career. Terez Davis and Carius Curne are expected to compete for the OT spots as well.
He’s joining a Rebels squad that defied the expectations placed on it following the abrupt coaching change that happened after the regular season. Pete Golding was elevated as head coach from defensive coordinator after Lane Kiffin took the opening at LSU.
The Rebels would go on to beat Tulane 41-10 during a home playoff game. They followed that up with a statement 39-34 win over Georgia — the only team who beat Ole Miss during the regular season — before falling to the Miami Hurricanes — Kinsler’s former team — in the national semifinal. Miami eventually lost to Indiana 27-21 in the national championship game.
