9 year old enters Fan Transfer Portal

[shoothoops]

A 9 year old University of Tennessee Football Fan entered the Fan Transfer Portal after his favorite player entered the football transfer portal.

He wrote letters to several teams.

Alabama responded with a signed photo of Nick Saban saying Roll Tide. LSU responded with a signed photo of Ed Orgeron snd an LSU Backpack and Sunglasses. His beloved Tennessee? Josh Huepel didn't respond. Lane Kiffin of Ole Miss called him and had a nice chat with him. The 9 year old has decided to transfer his fandom to Ole Miss.

There's no substitute for a personal phone call. Even a nine-year-old understands that something in the mail from a big-time coach was actually sent by an assistant. But, when you get a phone call you know that for at least a couple minutes you're that coach's number one focus.

April fools?

April fools?

Nope.

Landon hasn't signed anything yet, but he does plan to attend an Ole Miss game this fall, and, he remains firm with his verbal commitment to Ole Miss. But in the future, anything can happen, and Landon can always re-enter the Fan Transfer Portal.

Should fans have to sit out a year too?

Considering Landon was a Tennessee fan, some Vols faithful would say he has already been forced to sit out a while.

Was this a signed LOI or just a verbal commit?

He was also spotted with a brand new bike and iPhone.

Can you submit a "fan's" name without their permission? Asking for a friend.

It's a silent verbal.

These programs better hope he doesn't become a legit prospect or these could be considered improper benefits

Kiffin doing this isn't surprising cause he's been sneaky great with fans for awhile.  But I also love the petty angle of doing it to UT giving the total lack of love lost since he left Knoxville for USC
