Ole Miss Rebels wide receiver Cayden Lee has officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal after spending the last three seasons in Oxford, he revealed via social media on Saturday.

Lee signed with the Rebels as a three-star wideout in the 2023 Recruiting Cycle where he emerged as a critical component to the program's success on offense across the last two seasons.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pounder totaled over 1,500 yards on 101 receptions with a handful of touchdowns throughout the last two seasons where he totaled over 40 catches each year.

Lee's most productive season came in 2024 where he hauled in 57 receptions for 874 yards and two touchdowns on 15.3 yards per catch under then head coach Lane Kiffin.

Now, he's elected to hit the Transfer Portal at the buzzer prior to Friday night's 11:59 p.m. CT deadline where multiple programs will poke around to pique his interest.

The current expectation is that the LSU Tigers and Lane Kiffin will be among those interested - along with Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs.

Lee, a Peach State native, has been linked to the Bulldogs on multiple occasions where he will now evaluate his options in the NCAA Transfer Portal market.

For the LSU Tigers, the program has signed nine wideouts via the NCAA Transfer Portal with four of them ranking inside the Top-50 at their position, according to 247Sports.
