Dabo Swinney says Lane Kiffin had 'zero' to do with Clemson reporting Ole Miss for tampering over a linebacker's transfer
Clemson signed Luke Ferrelli out of the transfer portal before Ferrelli decided to play for Ole Miss instead.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has stated that Lane Kiffin played no role in the school's formal accusations of tampering against Ole Miss. According to CBS Sports, Kiffin allegedly provided information to help Swinney's case against Ole Miss coach Pete Golding and the Rebels. The alleged incident involved Kiffin texting Ole Miss linebacker Luke Ferrelli before he transferred to Clemson, asking about his buyout.
Swinney alleged that Golding, who succeeded Kiffin as Ole Miss' head coach, approached Ferrelli about the buyout. The NCAA was already aware of the allegations before Swinney's public announcement. Swinney emphasized that Kiffin had zero involvement in the reporting of the tampering to the NCAA, though Kiffin had been in contact about the situation.
