Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste has landed at Ole Miss after 4 seasons at UCF. The former Knights linebacker announced on Thursday evening that he was headed to Oxford to continue his college career.

A Florida native and former UCF team captain, Jean-Baptiste entered the transfer portal just days after UCF fell to Tulane in the American Athletic Conference championship game. He totaled 52 tackles and 5.0 tackles for a loss in 2022.

He was at Ole Miss for an official visit during the week, and ultimately decided on playing for Lane Kiffin and the Rebels in 2023.

During his time in Orlando, with the last 2 years spent playing for former Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn, Jean-Baptiste totaled 152 tackles, 14.0 tackles for a loss, and a pair of sacks. His career high for stops for a loss came in 2021, where he totaled 6.5. He will have 1 year of eligibility remaining at Ole Miss.
