Ole Miss JUCO quarterback signee Chad Kelly was arrested early Sunday for punching a bouncer at a local nightclub in Buffalo, N.Y.

According to the Buffalo News, Kelly refused to exit Encore (a local nightclub), fought with bouncers and scuffled with police. He also hurled verbal threats involving his ‘AK-47 in my truck.’

Kelly, nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, faces multiple charges including third-degree assault, second-degree harassment, second-degree menacing, resisting arrest, fourth-degree criminal mischief and second-degree obstructing governmental administration.

Kelly was an Under Armour All-American in 2012 and signed with Clemson as a four-star recruit. He was dismissed by coach Dabo Swinney two days after the Tigers’ spring game last April.

“He has had a pattern of behavior that is not consistent with the values of our program,” Swinney said at the time. “I hope he will mature and grow from this and become the man and player I know he can be. I wish him nothing but the best in the future academically and athletically.”

He spent this season at East Mississippi Community College, leading EMCC to its third JUCO national championship in four years. He earned All-America status with 3,905 yards and 47 touchdowns and was considered the No. 1 JUCO quarterback in the country before signing with Ole Miss last week as a three-star prospect.

Kelly was expected to contend for the Rebels starting quarterback job in 2015 following the departure of current senior and three-year starter Bo Wallace.
