The Ole Miss Rebels have bolstered their defensive lineup by acquiring edge rusher Da’Shawn Womack from the LSU Tigers via the transfer portal. Womack, a 6-foot-5, 265-pound athlete from Baltimore, Maryland, was a highly sought-after five-star recruit in the 2023 class. During his two seasons at LSU, he participated in 20 games, recording 21 total tackles, including 2.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.
Womack’s decision to join Ole Miss comes after an official visit to Oxford, where he was impressed by the program’s direction under head coach Lane Kiffin and defensive coordinator Pete Golding. His addition is timely, as the Rebels anticipate the departure of key defensive ends Jared Ivey and Princely Umanmielen to the NFL. Womack’s talent and versatility are expected to make an immediate impact on the Rebels’ defensive front in the upcoming season.
Womack’s commitment marks a significant win for Ole Miss in the competitive SEC landscape, reflecting the program’s proactive approach in utilizing the transfer portal to enhance its roster. Fans in Oxford are eagerly anticipating the contributions Womack will bring to the Rebels’ defense.
