Ole Miss wide receiver Zakhari Franklin enters NCAA transfer portal
Ole Miss has had multiple players enter the transfer portal in recent days, including receiver Zakhari Franklin.
Franklin parts ways with the Ole Miss program following just one season in Oxford, redshirting last year after appearing in just four games for the Rebels. He recorded four catches for 38 yards and one touchdown.
Prior to his short stint with Ole Miss, Franklin was a four-year starter at UTSA. In five seasons he recorded 261 receptions for 3,348 and 37 touchdowns, setting a multitude of program records and posting back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, before transferring to Ole Miss ahead of the 2023 season.
Franklin played high school football at Cedar Hill in Texas, where he was a three-star prospect. He was ranked the No. 2,492 overall recruit and the No. 344 wide receiver in the 2019 cycle, according to On3’s Industry Rankings, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
As a true freshman, Franklin caught 38 passes for 491 yards and three touchdowns, upping his production as a sophomore in his first full season as a starter when he earned All-Conference USA Honorable Mention honors after posting 48 receptions for 694 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, despite missing two games.
His final two seasons in San Antonio would be where me made his biggest mark for the Roadrunners, starting in 2021 where he was a First-Team All-Conference USA selection after becoming the program’s all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdown catches. He ended the season with 81 receptions for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns, which were all single season records that he would break the following year. He earned first-Team All-Conference USA honors again after catching 93 passes for 1,137 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2022.
