🏈 NCAA Eligibility Ruling: Two of These Guys Are in NFL Camp RIGHT NOW | Where Ole Miss Goes From HERE

from Locked On Ole Miss - Daily podcast on Ole Miss Rebels Football, Basketball & Baseball · host Locked On Podcast Network

Two of these guys are in an NFL training camp right now — and they just went to court to get themselves a college backup plan.   IN THIS EPISODE: 🚨 What actually happened. Thirty-three athletes sued the NCAA in a Louisiana state court and were granted a temporary restraining order the same day. Three are former Ole Miss starters: Dae'Quan Wright (under contract, Cleveland), Zxavian Harris (waived by New Orleans), and Wydett Williams Jr. (under contract, Arizona). Two of those men are currently employed by NFL teams. That's not a transfer. That's not an eligibility appeal. That's a hedge. (Caveat: a restraining order is temporary, and an NFL club would have to release them first.)   💰 Why somebody will make the call. Lose and you can lose your job. Win and you get celebrated. That gap is monstrous, and there's too much money on the table. But sign one of these transfers this close to the season and you're telling your own building you don't believe in the roster you built — and telling the kid who's been there three years and just won that job that it was never actually his.   ⚖️ The part that matters most: a federal judge already drew this line. Judge Charlotte Sweeney's nationwide injunction is why Judd Utermark and Will Furniss are back on this roster. But Sweeney clarified her own order and specifically excluded athletes who signed professional contracts — because that's how it's always worked. When you leave early, they call it foregoing your senior year. Which is exactly why these NFL guys had to find a different courtroom in Louisiana.   🏈 And why there's no phone call to make in Oxford. Wright, Harris and Williams were real players — 39 catches and 635 yards, 15 starts and 9 TFL, 73 tackles and 3 interceptions. And Ole Miss already replaced every one of them.   Plus why Chambliss was the last rightful lawsuit in this sport, the Texas Tech video, and the one thing this staff has done all August that suddenly makes a lot more sense.   🚨 THE EVERYDAY CLUB IS NOW ONE TIER — $8/MONTH, EVERYBODY GETS EVERYTHING.
