Pete Golding’s Portal Run and Who The Rebels Could Get Next

Ole Miss is in the middle of one of its busiest transfer portal stretches yet, and the timing couldn’t be more chaotic.

In this episode of Game Runs Deep, Sudu and Ben react live as Ole Miss stacks early portal commitments, hosts visitors, and prepares to leave for the Fiesta Bowl all at the same time. The guys break down what Pete Golding’s early portal approach tells us about his priorities, why Ole Miss is leaning heavily into defensive additions, and how the program is handling roster building in the middle of a playoff run.

The conversation dives deep into the quarterback dominoes, including Austin Simmons entering the portal, Trinidad Chambliss’ waiver uncertainty, and which transfer QBs Ole Miss is monitoring if it needs to add more than one. Ben also runs through the latest intel on portal targets at defensive back, linebacker, edge, offensive line, and wide receiver.

There’s also discussion on:

• Ole Miss’ four early portal commitments and positional needs
• Why the portal calendar is broken especially during bowl season
• Pete Golding’s role in keeping the organization intact
• Retention vs. replacement and why both matter right now
• Live listener questions and rapid-fire portal evaluations
