New Mexico TE transfer Trace Bruckler commits to Ole Miss

Ole Miss landed a commitment from graduate transfer tight end Trace Bruckler while on his official visit to Oxford, he announced on Thursday. Bruckler will have one year of eligibility after playing 39 games over the past four seasons for New Mexico.

On3 ranks him as the 40th-best tight end in the transfer portal.

Bruckler, a 6-3, 245-pound tight end originally from Frisco, Texas, already picked up a Tulsa offer and made a visit last month. He’s also heard from Arkansas State and James Madison.

This season, he caught 22 passes for 138 yards and two scores. For his career, he’s started 24 games over 39 appearances with 46 receptions for 421 yards and five touchdowns.

Lane Kiffin’s staff currently has one of the top transfer portal hauls in America. Ole Miss sits No. 3 behind Texas Tech at No. 1 and Missouri, which sits at No. 2.

The Rebels also hold a commitment from Arkansas tight end Luke Hasz, the No. 3 tight end in the transfer portal.
