Ole Miss fans got a special treat during Saturday’s spring game between the Red team and Navy team as USC transfer tight end Michael Trigg scored a pair of touchdown. The late scores was not enough to lift the Navy team to victory but provided a glimpse of the future at the position.

“Trigg TD’s … get used to it,” the caption read.

The tight end is ranked as the No. 38 overall prospect in the portal, per On3’s transfer portal rankings. He is also the second-ranked tight end available.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pound freshman played in just four games this past season, totaling seven catches for 109 yards and a touchdown in 2021. He originally came to the Trojans as a four-star recruit and the No. 4 tight end according to On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Other than USC, he held offers from several big-time programs including Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State.

Lane Kiffin on quarterback battle

During his second interview of the day, Lane Kiffin spoke abut the quarterback battle, making it clear which of the two players impressed him more in the first half.

“Jaxson is trying to win the battle every play and forcing the ball as you can see,” said Kiffin. “And Luke’s being patient and playing within the offense and playing better as you can see. … That penalty should’ve been on him, not the other way. I’m sure that’s his frustration for forcing the ball into double coverage. He’s competitive, he’s frustrated.”

The penalty Kiffin referenced came on a play where Dart threw an interception and decided to run down field to make a hit, despite his white non-contact jersey. The play also brought another viral moment as a sideline coach nearly got ejected for his argument against the call.
