Ole Miss Lands Former Five-Star Recruit QB From Fellow SEC School

Our Summary
Ole Miss is set to address its quarterback vacancy following the departure of Trinidad Chambliss by securing a commitment from Auburn transfer Deuce Knight. Knight, a five-star recruit from the Class of 2025, joins Ole Miss after limited playtime at Auburn, where he appeared in two games during the 2025 season. Despite his brief tenure, Knight showcased his dual-threat capabilities with 259 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 178 rushing yards, and four rushing touchdowns. The decision comes as Ole Miss aims to maintain its competitive edge after a successful 11-1 regular season and a Fiesta Bowl appearance. Knight will step into a critical role for the Rebels after backup quarterback Austin Simmons transferred to Missouri.
