A three-star prospect with an 85 for a grade, the 247Sports Composite rankings have Kiffin 17th in Louisiana, 53rd at quarterback and the No. 526 player overall in the Class of 2028.

He is currently on his third high school program in a third different state after starting out in California with Palos Verdes High School. Kiffin spent his sophomore season in Mississippi with Oxford High School.

As a freshman, he completed 3 of 6 passes for 19 yards with an interception, playing behind Ryan Rakowski. During his sophomore season, he was 4-for-7 for 109 yards, adding a rushing touchdown in limited action as a reserve.
