Lane Kiffin’s daughter picked a very public moment to go into business.
Landry Kiffin launched Fifth Year on Monday, just days before LSU heads to Ole Miss on Saturday. The brand went live with a launch photo of Landry and two friends wearing cropped sets and boots, and the account made the announcement plainly: “FIFTH YEAR X LANDRY KIFFIN LIVE NOW!! get it before it’s gone on fifthyr.com.”
The site is built around activewear, lounge pieces, jackets, hoodies, and gameday looks, all tied to school-inspired colors. By Tuesday, Landry was already thanking the early buyers. “Seeing so many of you on the website the second we launched, placing orders and supporting Fifth Year, was the best feeling ever.”
The brand’s own description leans into that same college-and-beyond identity. “Designed for women in college and beyond, our collections blend athletic wear, loungewear, elevated essentials, and accessories in our signature colors inspired by the schools we love and the traditions that bring us together.”
The timing gives the launch extra bite. Kiffin left Oxford for Baton Rouge last December, and Rebels fans still remember the reaction. Now, with both LSU and Ole Miss in the top 10, his oldest child is selling clothes while the matchup sits right in the middle of the conversation.
Landry has already lived in both worlds. She dated LSU linebacker Whit Weeks publicly during the week those teams played last year, and after the move she told upset Ole Miss fans she wished she “could be as creative as angry football fans.” She also kept posting Rebels content after the family change, then later showed up in purple and gold.
Fifth Year’s early looks fit that split-life vibe. The brand is pushing pieces like a navy leather crop and matching skort, with the skort described as “your new gameday uniform.” Landry has also tried other paths, including teaching Pilates at Ole Miss, promoting ALO workouts after the LSU move, and even teasing a cooking channel with Weeks.
This is the first venture she’s put behind a real storefront and checkout, and it lands at a moment when every Kiffin-related detail gets noticed. Lane Kiffin once stayed at Ole Miss after Landry begged him not to leave for Auburn. He did not stay the second time.
Layla Kiffin has also opened a Baton Rouge studio across from Tiger Stadium, while Landry went the clothing route. Same family, two storefronts, and one very loud Saturday ahead.
LSU and Ole Miss will handle the football. Landry Kiffin already handled the merch.
Orders were hitting the site as soon as it opened.

Drew Brees Broncos Twist Could Put Saints In An Awkward Spot
Sean Payton has already tried to cool off the idea of a Drew Brees reunion in Denver, even as reports suggested the former Saints quarterback briefly considered joining the Broncos for their playoff push. Brees ultimately passed because of his arm condition, and Payton said the contact went through Broncos assistants Joe Lombardi and Pete Carmichael rather than landing directly on his desk. For Saints fans, it is one of those familiar crosscurrents involving a franchise icon, a former coach and the lingering connections that still tie New Orleans to the rest of the league.
The part worth watching now is the potential mess around Brees contract rights and whether the league sees anything worth examining further. There has been speculation about a tampering investigation, but nothing official has been announced, leaving the story in a gray area for the moment. Even so, the possibility of an awkward NFL inquiry is the kind of background noise the Saints did not need attached to a player whose legacy in New Orleans is already firmly established.

Saints May Have Found An LSU Pass Rusher Worth Watching Closely
A familiar Louisiana pipeline could be worth tracking again, this time on the edge. Princewill Umanmielen has already shown the kind of pass-rushing burst and athleticism that gets scouts leaning forward, and he has kept producing after stops at Nebraska and Ole Miss before landing at LSU. Early in the season, he has been among the national leaders in sacks, which only adds to the growing sense that his name belongs on the list of players New Orleans will be watching closely over the next couple of years.
For the Saints, the appeal is obvious: a productive LSU rusher with the frame and movement skills to develop into something more if the rest of his game keeps coming along. There are still questions to answer, as there are with most young edge prospects, but the upside is enough to make him a legitimate draft watch as the 2027 NFL Draft approaches. If he keeps stacking performances like this, the Saints may not have to look far for a first-round conversation. [Read more 🡒]
Saints Workout Just Turned Into A Bigger NFL Problem
The Saints recent workout scene came with a league-wide wrinkle after the NFL reminded clubs that defensive tackle Zxavian Harris and tight end DaeQuan Wright are off the board for the rest of this season. Both players had gone after additional eligibility at LSU, but neither appeared in a game, and that choice cost them the chance to circle back to the NFL before the year is done.
For New Orleans, it is a small note on paper but the kind that matters when teams are sorting through depth and trying to squeeze value out of every look. Harris and Wright will be eligible to sign with NFL teams next season without having to go back through the draft, but for now any club that had them on the radar has to move on and wait.
