On Wednesday of last week (Aug 15) http://www.olemisssports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/081512aab.html">Ole Miss announced sophomore wide receiver Tobias Singleton had left the program. The former four star recruit from Madison Central was one of the big pieces of former Ole Miss Houston Nutt’s last recruiting class.
The Rebels have lost Singleton and highly sought after recruit Nickolas Brassell. Many in the blogosphere have speculated that academics were the reason for Singleton leaving the program.
Brassell was ruled http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7946393/mississippi-rebels-nickolas-brassell-transfer">academic ineligible which led to his transfer. One of the bright spots on a bad Ole Miss team last season, Brassell played wide receiver and cornerback.
Singleton announced he would enroll at http://meacswacsports.blogspot.com/2012/08/comegy-on-ole-miss-transfer-tobias.html">Jackson State. Because he is transferring to an FCS (Bowl Championship Subdivision) Singleton can play right away.
For those wondering, if Singleton had transferred to another FBS school (Football Bowl Subdivision) like Mississippi State for example, he would have to set out for one season.
