Kiffin Confirms 100% Vaccination of Ole Miss Football Program

OXFORD, Miss. (WCBI) — Ole Miss football is making sure that COVID-19 doesn’t get in the way of the Rebels 2021 season. Ole Miss head football coach Lane Kiffin confirmed in a statement to ESPN that all players, coaches, and staff members have been vaccinated against COVID-19. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey stated at SEC Media Days in July that teams could potentially have to forfeit games in the 2021 season due to COVID-19. “Nobody wants to be in a position to forfeit games,” Kiffin told ESPN. Sankey stated that programs that exceed 85% vaccination will not have to undergo COVID-19 protocols including regular testing. Programs that fall underneath 85% will have to be tested. Ole Miss opens its season on Sept. 6 against Louisville in Atlanta, GA.
