STARKVILLE — Terrell Buckley is moving north.
Following four seasons in Starkville, the former Mississippi State cornerbacks coach was added to coach Lane Kiffin’s inaugural staff at Ole Miss on Saturday per a news release.
Buckley, who was selected to the College Football Hall of Fame this past year for his standout career at Florida State, will serve as a cornerbacks coach in Oxford.
Under his tutelage, 13 players have signed NFL contracts — including Jamal Peters and 2018 first-round NFL draft pick Jaire Alexander.
“This coaching staff represents the winning mentality we are establishing here, and I’m excited to get to work as a full group,” Kiffin said in a news release. “We added dynamic recruiters, championship experience and outstanding football minds. This is a staff that will attract the best players in the country and help them reach their full potential.”
