Committed to Ole Miss on 6/8/2013

Sustained a concussion during his senior season. Conflicting reports as to whether or not he has been cleared for contact.

He was just taken off Ole Miss' commitment list less than a week before signing day.

What's going on here and what's the protocol?

He hasn't been cleared yet. Horrible injury, forgot his own name for a week. What is unsure right now if he'll even be able to play football again or not. Last I heard we were looking into giving him a medical scholarship so he can still attend Ole Miss on scholarship while not playing football.

He didn't remember who anyone was for an extended period of time. His concussion made the one that ended Bohanna's career for us look mild.

Some talk that they are going to try to place him on medical scholarship at OM in the event that he never gets cleared to play. That said, I totally understand why they couldn't take a risk on signing him at this point even if he has recently been cleared for contact.

Concussions are a very slippery road to go down right now...

I think it's conflicting reports on whether or not he'll ever play again. Medical scholarship possible I believe

I hate it for the kid.

In the grand scheme of things, football is just a game. His health is much more important.
