Class of 2028 quarterback Knox Kiffin, son of LSU football coach Lane Kiffin, says his goal is to have a more productive college career than his dad.<\/p>\n
Kiffin’s father served as backup quarterback<\/a> in the late 90’s for Fresno State, but didn’t see any playing time before transitioning to serve as a graduate assistant coach.<\/p>\n “Yeah, no, he wasn’t good. He wasn’t very good at all. I’m definitely trying to be better than him,” Kiffin said when asked about his father’s college career by Chessa Bouche of Louisiana First News (h\/t SportsCenter Next).<\/p>\n Kiffin continued, “He was the third string, so I don’t want to do that. I’m trying to be as good as I can.”<\/p>\n Kiffin recently transferred<\/a> from Mississippi’s Oxford High School to Louisiana’s University Lab School ahead of his junior high school season.<\/p>\n He is currently listed as a three-star prospect and the No. 51 quarterback available in the 2028 class by 247Sports<\/a>. He holds offers from programs including Vanderbilt, Memphis, Missouri, Cal and SMU, per 247Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Class of 2028 quarterback Knox Kiffin, son of LSU football coach Lane Kiffin, says his goal is to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":952888,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7,49,48],"class_list":["post-952887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116966648940816281","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=952887"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/952887\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/952888"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=952887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=952887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=952887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
