Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin is pulling out all the stops for the program's big recruiting weekend. As the programs prepare visits from the 2025 class, Kiffin stepped up in a big way to influence 4-star safety Ladarian Clardy's commitment to the Rebels.

In a now viral video that Clardy posted on social media, we see him and Lane Kiffin in a car with the Ole Miss head coach behind the wheel. Clardy had a hilarious conversation with Kiffin where he acted as the chaffeur who stated that he will take the 4-star prospect anywhere as long as he finalizes his commitment to the Rebels.

"Hey, Uber driver, can you take me back to the Square?" Clardy questioned.

"I can take you anywhere you want to go as long as you come to The 'Sip", was Lane Kiffin's response.

This is not the first time that Kiffin has pulled out an act like this where he pretends to be a recruit's chaffeur. Back in 2022, he executed a similar plan while trying to recruit WR Jaylon Robinson from the transfer portal. That tactic worked as Robinson later committed to play for the Rebels before transferring to the TCU Horned Frogs for his senior year.

Ladarian Clardy so far has 41 offers from various college programs. He recently made a visit to Florida State where he got to interact with head coach Mike Norvell. Clardy also posted a photo with Norvell on X captioning the post "Home?"
