Following the reconciliation of his parents, Knox Kiffin will have a change of environment heading into his sophomore year at high school. His father and Ole Miss coach, Lane Kiffin, made up with his wife, Layla Kiffin, late last year after they had been divorced since 2016.

Layla had stayed in Manhattan Beach, California, since she parted ways with her husband about a decade ago. However, she will move to Oxford this summer following her reconciliation with Lane, which will see their son, Knox, who had lived with Layla, also join the family.

Knox Kiffin spent his freshman season playing at Palos Verdes (California) last year, but, according to 247Sports, the quarterback is set to join Oxford High (Mississippi) next month. That will see him develop his game under his father’s tutelage in the next few years.

The Class of 2028 quarterback has received an offer from FIU along with Arkansas State, Western Kentucky, Georgia State, Murray State, Sacramento State and SMU. With the weight that comes with his last name, he’s expected to receive more offers as his career progresses.

There has been a lot of talk on the possibility of Knox Kiffin playing his college career under his father at Ole Miss. Although the family hasn't given any indication on that, but many continue to see it as a huge possibility.
