Knox Kiffin and his other sister, Landry, are staying in Mississippi along with their dad and mom, Layla. The Ole Miss head coach reconciled with his ex-wife after their divorce back in 2016.

Knox will be attending Oxford High School for his sophomore year. Just like Lane Kiffin, he has a passion for the game of football and is a prospect for the recruiting class of 2028.

According to reports, he has already received several offers from teams like FIU, Georgia State, Western Kentucky and SMU, among others. Before arriving in Oxford, he played one season for Palos Verdes, where he put up 19 passing yards in three games.

Lane Kiffin opens up about life so far at Oxford

Last month, the Ole Miss head coach shared his honest thoughts on living in the city of Oxford. He opened up about living a fast-paced life in Alabama and how things have changed over the years.

Kiffin also spoke about his transition to Oxford while heaping praise on the city's passion for the game of football.

"This has been a big change for me coming here..." Kiffin said via The Rebel Walk on X/Twitter. "And so, I got to see Oxford through a different lens because I was initially here just as a head coach. Then I got to see it as a parent. I got to see the value of the people here. And that really helped me change a lot too because I would say I kind of always moved fast.

"I was sitting in L.A. and South Florida and then coming here, it's a lot slower. And that was really good for me. And so, it's been an awesome time," he added.
