Ole Miss wide receiver Cayden Lee is entering NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett. amassed 106 receptions for 1,623 yards and 7 touchdowns during his time with the Rebels.
Lee played high school football at Kennesaw Mountain (Kennesaw, GA), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 519 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted algorithm that compiles all major recruiting media services.
The 2025-26 college football transfer portal lasted 15 days, spanning from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16. Players have had just over two weeks to enter the portal, but they’re not under a deadline to commit when they enter. Traditionally, the cut-off for committing has been how late a school can enroll a player through admissions, which varies throughout the sport.
Ole Miss is entering a new era as new head coach Pete Golding enters his first full year at the helm. Golding coached the Rebels in the College Football Playoff after Lane Kiffin left the program to take over at LSU.
Under Golding’s leadership, Ole Miss defeated Tulane and Georgia in the CFP. The Rebels ultimately fell 31-27 to Miami in the CFP semifinals. Nonetheless, the team’s postseason run was a promising sign for the future of the program. Golding certainly believes the future is bright for the Rebels.
“A lot of these fans have invested a lot in a lot of different ways over a lot of years. And they deserve this,” Golding said. “They deserve a better outcome, but they deserve these opportunities, and they deserve for these opportunities to be on a consistent basis. That’s the expectation that our chancellor and Keith [Carter] has set for us.”
