Princely Umanmielen did not enjoy his return to The Swamp.
The Ole Miss edge defender spent the first 4 years of his college career at Florida (2020-23). He transferred to Lane Kiffin’s program in the offseason.
Umanmielen made it clear that this was a deeply personal game, sporting a Florida ski mask for Ole Miss’s trip to Gainesville.

As one would expect, Umanmielen was not in a great mood after Florida stunned No. 9 Ole Miss in a 24-17 upset, likely knocking the Rebels out of College Football Playoff contention. UF student journalist Talia Baia observed a frustrated Umanmielen leaving the field.

Later, Umanmielen was being escorted to the Ole Miss team bus outside of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. He had to walk by some Florida fans who were eager to trash talk, and Umanmielen had to be briefly restrained. Video was shared on Instagram by the Florida affiliate of Old Row.

In the game, Umanmielen had 7 total tackles, including 1 sack.
