In a major move for Ole Miss football, former Louisville quarterback Pierce Clarkson has officially signed with the Rebels. The announcement comes as a boost to Ole Miss’ offensive depth, as head coach Lane Kiffin continues to build a competitive roster for the upcoming season.
Clarkson, a highly touted recruit from the Class of 2023, initially joined Louisville as part of a star-studded recruiting class. Known for his dual-threat capabilities, Clarkson brings a dynamic mix of speed and arm talent to Oxford. During his high school career at St. John Bosco in California, he earned national recognition for his ability to extend plays and deliver in clutch moments, helping his team secure a national championship.
The transfer decision comes amid intense competition in the quarterback room at Louisville. By joining Ole Miss, Clarkson looks to carve out a significant role in an offense known for its explosive play-calling under Kiffin.
With Clarkson’s addition, Ole Miss strengthens its quarterback depth chart, which already includes standout signal-caller Jaxson Dart. Clarkson’s arrival could create a heated competition for playing time and enhance the Rebels’ offensive versatility in the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
This move signals Clarkson’s commitment to pursuing success at the highest level of college football and adds excitement to Ole Miss’ 2025 campaign.
