Coaches look forward to Tunsil’s return to the field

Ole Miss has been waiting all season for an answer from the NCAA regarding the status of it’s junior All-American offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, and they finally received that answer Monday evening.

After a two month long investigation, the NCAA announced Tunsil must serve a seven-game suspension for accepting impermissible benefits, stemming from a promissory note he accepted on loner car from a local Oxford car dealership.

After sitting out the first six games of the season, Tunsil will only sit out one final game this Saturday against Memphis.

“Any time you have things that are going on in your program that you have zero control over, it’s not the most comfortable feeling,” Hugh Freeze, head coach, said.
