Lane Kiffin made some big additions to his Ole Miss football team — literally.
On Thursday, both Julius Buelow and Nate Kalepo committed to Ole Miss. The two were offensive linemen for the Washington Huskies in the 2023 season, and they are heading to play for Kiffin’s Rebels.
Buelow is listed at 6-foot-9 and over 310 pounds. He played right guard and started the final 9 games for Washington.

The Huskies’ offensive line received the Joe Moore Award for being the top offensive line group in the country. And their two guards are headed to play for Kiffin.
One thing that stands out about Buelow and Kalepo is their size — both are massive linemen. Kiffin even confirmed via X that his team needed to get bigger in the trenches to compete with the likes of Georgia, which led to the moves.
