Former Oklahoma State quarterback Maealiuaki Smith has officially committed to the University of Mississippi, marking a key transfer move for the Rebels. Smith, a promising young talent known for his strong arm and football IQ, entered the transfer portal after limited playing time at Oklahoma State. Despite a competitive quarterback room, he sought an opportunity to grow in a more dynamic offensive system—and found that in Lane Kiffin’s high-powered scheme at Ole Miss.
Smith, a former 3-star recruit from California, brings depth and potential to Ole Miss’s quarterback roster. Though he saw minimal action during his time in Stillwater, coaches have praised his leadership and work ethic. At Ole Miss, he will likely compete for a backup role initially but could develop into a future starter depending on his progression and team needs.
This move continues a busy offseason for Ole Miss, which has been active in the transfer portal as it looks to remain competitive in the SEC. For Smith, the transfer is a chance to reset and prove himself in a system that better suits his dual-threat capabilities. Rebels fans will be watching closely to see how he develops in Oxford.
