Lane Kiffin played some Tom Petty to troll Florida after a top QB prospect jumped to Ole Miss

Lane Kiffin couldn’t not troll Florida after Ole Miss flipped one of their top commits.

Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin is having a heck of a weekend.

Kiffin’s team got a commitment from four-star quarterback Austin Simmons on Saturday, a hyper-intelligent prospect who finished high school as a freshman with a 5.34 GPA.

What made the recruitment even sweeter for Ole Miss was that Simmons jumped over to Oxford from Florida, where he had committed earlier in the year.

To celebrate Simmons’ commitment and troll his SEC rival, Kiffin tweeted that he was blasting some Tom Petty music on Spotify.

The joke comes from the fact that Petty was a Gainesville native, which is where the Gators call home. Ouch.

Kiffin’s new quarterback clearly enjoyed his new coach’s social media gag.

Kiffin also shared a photo of him dressed in Ole Miss apparel and holding a small gator in his hand because how could he not?

It’s going to be an exciting future for Ole Miss with Simmons in the fold, and Kiffin didn’t waste any time continuing his hot streak as the SEC’s best Twitter jokester.
