Lane Kiffin posts photos from son’s visit to Alabama football
There’s a Kiffin in Tuscaloosa this weekend.
Knox Kiffin, the 2028 quarterback prospect, took part in an Alabama football camp in Tuscaloosa this weekend. And Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, his dad, posted photos from a workout.
The quarterback prospect Kiffin was pictured in shorts, a t-shirt and cleats working with other quarterback prospects. Meanwhile, Alabama staffers and quarterbacks tossed snaps to them to make throws. Lane Kiffin also posted a photo of his son with Ty Simpson, the front runner to be Alabama’s quarterback this fall.
It’s unclear if Lane Kiffin took those photos himself or had them sent to him. Lane Kiffin knows Tuscaloosa well, having served on the coaching staff from 2014 through 2016.
Knox Kiffin’s recruitment is in its infancy. He has offers from Arkansas State, SMU and a few other programs. Alabama is in the middle of building its 2026 recruiting class, so two recruiting classes ahead of Knox Kiffin’s. But these camps provide an early glimpse at prospects such as Knox Kiffin as the recruitment of the 2028 class will ramp up the next few years.
This weekend is the end of the quiet period in the recruiting calendar. It officially ends June 22 before a dead period from June 23 through July 31. A quiet period is when schools can make in-person recruiting contact on campuses. A dead period does not permit contact or evaluations on or off campus.
