Lane Kiffin has given a recruit the boot, and not just any recruit. The Ole Miss head coach pulled out the rug from beneath the feet of the Oxford Mayor’s son to bring a different kicker to the Southeastern Conference campus.
Jack Tannehill — the son of Oxford Mayor Robyn Tannehill — committed to play for his hometown school in June of 2019. Rated as five-star recruit by Kohl’s Kicking, a recruiting service dedicated exclusively to the specialists, Tannehill did not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon.
Wednesday night Tannehill unexpectedly announced he was reopening his recruitment.
