Ole Miss Football Emerges as Potential Landing Spot for Top Miami Hurricanes Transfer

In this story:
Miami Hurricanes offensive lineman Tommy Kinsler hit the NCAA Transfer Portal following the program's College Football Playoff run with multiple SEC schools in pursuit.
Kinsler checks in as one of the top remaining transfer offensive linemen in the portal with Pete Golding and the Ole Miss Rebels in pursuit.
The 6-foot-6, 340-pounder has received interest from the likes of the Rebels, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Auburn Tigers, among others, as his recruitment heats up.
Kinsler is expected in Oxford this weekend on an official visit following his trip to see the Auburn Tigers, according to multiple reports.
The Arkansas Razorbacks are also viewed as a team to watch in his process with the clock ticking until a decision is made by the ACC transfer.
Kinsler has appeared in 22 games across the last two seasons where he will now depart Coral Gables in search of a new home with two years of eligibility remaining. He redshirted with Miami in 2023 prior to back-to-back seasons where he appeared in double-digit games.
