LSU has landed a commitment from former Ole Miss edge rusher Princewill Umanmielen. He’ll officially be following former coach Lane Kiffin to LSU.

Umanmielen had a standout junior season with the Rebels in 2025, posting 44 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and nine sacks.

As an All-SEC third team selection last season, Umanmielen instantly has a path to starting time on the defensive line.

Three of LSU’s top edge rushers — Jack Pyburn, Patrick Payton and Jimari Butler — are out of eligibility, leaving the team with a need at the position.

Umanmielen joins his former Ole Miss teammate linebacker TJ Dottery as defensive departures from the Rebels to head over to LSU.

The former four-star from Major, Texas, is listed as the No. 5 player in the NCAA transfer portal, according to 247Sports.

He joins former Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt as top-five players to commit to LSU in the transfer portal this cycle.

Umanmielen started his career at Nebraska, playing two seasons for the Cornhuskers before transferring to Ole Miss.

Umanmielen’s brothers both played college football as well.

One brother, Princely, played at Ole Miss in college and was a third round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers. He also has another brother, Prince, who played at Tarleton State for two years before finishing his career at East Central University.

Umanmielen makes four former Ole Miss players who have made the move to LSU this offseason, joining Dottery, offensive lineman Devin Harper and wide receiver Winston Watkins.
