Ole Miss loses player to transfer portal on Christmas

Ole Miss football got a reminder that Isaac Newton’s third law of motion applies to the NCAA transfer portal.

For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction and with the transfer portal, for every player that comes in, there’s (usually) a player leaving.

Ole Miss has brought in plenty of players, enough so that the Rebels’ current class is ranked at or near the top of class rankings. But Ole Miss has lost plenty of players to the portal and the latest defection came on Christmas Day.

Ole Miss safety Louis Moore will enter the transfer portal after one season in Oxford. He finished the 2024 season with 34 tackles, a half sack, one fumble recovery and a pass deflection. He previously played at Indiana and Navarro Community College before that.
