Missouri, former Ole Miss wideout Dannis Jackson enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Missouri and former Ole Miss wideout Dannis Jackson has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. Jackson, a class of 2019 recruit, will have at least one year of eligibility remaining.

Jackson spent just one season at Missouri, playing for the Tigers in 2023. He played in just five games for the Tigers. Over his career, Jackson has played in 34 games and caught 19 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns.

A former four-star recruit, Jackson will likely have ample suitors in the portal.

Jackson played high school football at Sumrall (Miss.) High School, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 164 overall recruit in the 2019 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

The spring transfer period isn’t popular with Jackson’s former coach

Lane Kiffin bemoans NCAA opening spring transfer window

Lane Kiffin bemoaned the NCAA transfer portal window in the spring, once again. Heck, the Ole Miss coach said as much, as in, “here we go again.”

Kiffin is not a fan of the portal, at least in terms of how it operates under the current rules. Well, there really aren’t many rules with the portal and NIL at the moment. Kiffin is ready for anything at this point, including with his own team.

“We still have one practice Monday, exit meetings with players and stuff and you know, when free agency opens, but people are already kind of announcing they’re going into it as you see around the country,” Kiffin said. “So it’s just where we are. Like I’ve said before, it probably sounds weird for me because I think we take advantage and we maximize the system. That’s in place as well as anybody. And it’s benefited us as well as anybody around the country. But it’s really a really poor system.” 

Kiffin noted how it’s basically like the NFL, which isn’t exactly headline news. However, the Ole Miss coach does not fault the players. It’s simply a product of the current system.

“And here we go again, guys already announced and they just got somewhere in January,” Kiffin said. “They’re leaving again already. So they went and got paid. You know, took up spots and it’s not their fault. It’s not the players fault at all. I mean, this is a system that’s created that they’re utilizing in the NFL. (Imagine the NFL had two) windows a year and you could opt in every year or twice a year, guys would do it … So it is what it is.”
