Presley Kiffin, the youngest daughter of Lane Kiffin, embraced a new career path away from the familiarity at Ole Miss. She went on to pursue volleyball at the University of Southern California. Committing to her dad’s alma mater, which had a history of mistreating him, earned some mixed bag reactions from the fans. But Presley seemed to laugh it off, sharing eye-popping snaps in her favorite USC gear. Just a month before, Kiffin’s daughter was beaming with joy for her endeavor brewing over the Golden State. But on May 4th, Sunday, everything came to a halt. Presley lost her dearest friend in a tragic course of events.
Loyola Tennis Senior captain, Braun Levi, breathed his last in a DUI crash in Manhattan Beach, CA. The death of a nationally ranked tennis player saw the sports world mourn deeply. But the pain of a childhood friend feels different. Presley shares a photo of Levi from her gallery and pens a heartfelt note to pay the last tribute to her departed mate. “To the best heart and soul, we love you always and forever,” she wrote in the IG caption.
Very sad news to report from Loyola principal Jamal Adams. “It is with profound sadness that we inform you of the passing of Braun Levi, Class of 2025, who tragically lost his life in a vehicular accident last night.

Vigils and memorials have been set up to allow friends and family to gather, vent their loss, and celebrate Braun’s life and career. The love and mutual air of support through the community carries the testament of Loyola High School’s rich culture.
