After hiring away Billy Glasscock earlier this year from Texas to serve as his Ole Miss program's general manager, Lane Kiffin has made another significant addition to the Rebels' personnel department.
Mike Williams has joined the Ole Miss program as senior director of player personnel.
Williams has a diverse football background, but perhaps most notable he logged nearly 15 years in the San Francisco 49ers organization.
Williams, who started with the 49ers as an area scout, had a nine-year initial run with San Francisco before he accepted an elevated position with the then-St. Louis Rams.
After three years as that franchise's vice president of player personnel, Williams returned to the Niners in enhanced role as their pro personnel consultant.
He then worked collegiate in recruiting at San Jose State and also logged time as a consultant for the QB Collective.
Williams became an assistant head coach at the prep level in California at Archbishop Riordan before working most recently as the lead scout for Hub football camps.
His knowledge of NFL scouting techniques and roster methods could be valuable elements for Kiffin and the Rebels, who have worked well to reshape their roster in recent seasons via the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Just last week, Kiffin lamented the "really stupid system" but also acknowledged Ole Miss had utilized the current format to fortify its football program.
The Rebels are just 12 days away from concluding their spring camp with their annual 'Grove Bowl' inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
