Former Ole Miss star defensive end Princewill Umanmielen is expected to transfer to LSU, according to multiple reports on Wednesday.

Umanmielen officially entered the portal on Wednesday morning after a delay caused by his previously signed contract with Ole Miss to return next season.

The Manor, Texas native played in 12 games this past season and recorded 45 total tackles, led the team with 9 sacks, and had 1 interception.

Umanmielen was the No. 1 edge rusher and No. 5 overall player in the transfer portal. He will have one year of eligibility remaining at LSU.

It will be interesting to see if he is allowed to enroll for Spring semester and participate in Spring Practice. The deadline to enroll was Tuesday evening.

Imagine being excited over a mercenary player who’ll be there for a season.

I want the best players, and from where I’m looking from, Ole Piss don’t have the best, maybe a few… let’s move on from recruiting from them.

My guy. They were a play from playing in the national championship with multiple missing coaches. They had Dawgs playing.

I would be excited to get this young man! However, if he recently signed an agreement to play at ole miss this year, then I think that he should honor that commitment.

I don’t believe in going back on your word….and if he signed a contract, he gave his word.

Good defensive lines make everyone on defense better.
Pressure QB, stop the run. If you can’t score, you can’t win.

I have high hopes, but no expectations for next year. I’m excited to see how things play out, but it’s year one.

Welcome to the fighting tigers Princewill. You won’t regret the decision.

I guess Pete Golding didn’t have the relationship with his defensive players that Kane Kiffin does. Talk about a sinking ship, that’s Ole Miss.

Between the veterans and freshman coming in, our defensive front 7 is about to be the best in football.

Even if he plays the exact same that dude had almost 10 sacks.

If he & others give LSU a top 5 defender the Tigers will be squarely in the hunt for a NC. It comes down to the offense. We’ll have to wait and see on that.

Please....many of the Ole Miss fans are already on suicide watch, need we go on?

Csmims•5 days

Suicide watch losing players off of defense gave up 25 points a game last year. I don’t think so.

So you promoted the coordinator of the defense you are trashing to HC?

@Csmins coping as best he can. Everyone on the team this past season was bad now….lol. Cope bruh…whatever it takes to hide those salty tears.

If true, and although just one year of eligibility, l am looking forward to Ole Myth's continued misery and angst!
