Lane Kiffin Celebrates Engagement at Ole Miss Game
During the Ole Miss Rebels' game against The Citadel, the sixth-ranked team secured a decisive 49-0 victory. However, the highlight of the event was not just the score but a memorable public proposal on the field.
Proposal at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium
Former Ole Miss pole vaulter Drew O’Connor appeared on the turf during a third-quarter timeout, participating in what seemed to be a field goal promotion. His girlfriend, Madison Barnette, joined him as the holder. Instead of a kick, O’Connor knelt and proposed to Barnette.
“Barnette said yes, and slipped on a ring to the delight of the Ole Miss fans in the crowd.”
Coach Lane Kiffin Joins the Celebration
Lane Kiffin, the Rebels' head coach in his sixth year, watched from the sideline and joined the happy couple. He posed for photos with them and pointed in celebration, sharing the joy of the moment.
Fun Fact
Ole Miss does not officially track how often proposals occur on the field during games.
Summary
In a heartfelt moment during a game, Drew O’Connor proposed to Madison Barnette on the field, celebrated warmly by Coach Lane Kiffin and thousands of fans, highlighting college football’s spirit beyond the scoreboard.
