It\u2019s a bold strategy, let\u2019s see if it pays off for him.<\/p>\n
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin shot his shot at social media influencer Hannah Barron in what can only be described as a half-court, low-percentage type of shot.<\/p>\n
Barron is a 29-year-old known for her wild outdoor adventures, particularly her \u201ccatfish noodling,\u201d which involves wrangling and capturing catfish with her bare hands, using her hands and arms as bait before wrestling the fish out of the water.<\/p>\n
While \u201cThe Catfish Girl\u201d has about 8 million followers across all her social media platforms, her use on X is rather sparse, and her posts on July 13 were her first on the app since early December.<\/p>\n
