Several sources have told ESPN.com that troubled quarterback Jeremiah Masoli will enroll at Ole Miss, helping make way for his comeback into college football.
Masoli was considered a contender for the Heisman Trophy this season until his former school, Oregon, suspended him for the 2010 season in March after the 21-year-old pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor burglary charge. After being arrested being arrested for possession of marijuana and several driving infractions, the Ducks kicked Masoli off of the team.
Masoli will enroll in a graduate program at Ole Miss. Since Oregon does not have a graduate program, the NCAA will not force Masoli to sit out for a year. Masoli currently has two year of eligibility.
Masoli enrolled in Oregon in 2008 after transferring from the City College of San Francisco. Last season, Masoli completed 177 of 305 passes for 2,147 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. The 5-foot-11 214 athlete was also sacked only 10 times.
Ole Miss is currently looking for a replacement for departed quarterback Jevan Snead. Currently, sophomore Nathan Stanley was expected to start.
