Former Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli wanted a fresh start at Mississippi, but had to fight in order to get that start.
On Friday, Masoli won that new beginning. After the NCAA ruled Masoli ineligible this season due to transfer rules three days ago, Masoli won an appeal that will make him immediately eligible for the Rebels Saturday game against Jacksonville State.
Masoli's transfer to Ole Miss was highly published. The junior was kicked off of Oregon's team after multiple run-ins with the law.
Masoli entered the season as a contender for the Heisman Trophy, however, after his dismissal from Oregon, his chances to win the coveted trophy went down the drain.
Rumors have circulated that Ole Miss is considering naming the 5-foot-11, 214 pound mobile quarterback team captain. The Rebels are coming off of a 9-4 season and is looking to dethrone defending nation champion and division rival Alabama.
