The Ole Miss Rebels have launched their own internal investigation into the Laremy Tunsil NCAA violations alleged by his stepfather, Lindsey Miller.
The university released a statement about the matter:
“The University of Mississippi Department of Athletics is aware of the allegations made by Laremy Tunsil’s stepfather regarding potential NCAA violations involving Laremy,” read a statement released by Ole Miss sports information director Kyle Campbell Monday afternoon. “As we do with any allegation, we initiated an internal investigation last week and have offered the NCAA our full cooperation.
“We take the obligations to the NCAA and SEC very seriously, and we will continue to educate, monitor and enforce all applicable rules. All other reports are speculation until the process is complete.”
Tunsil, a former five-star signee and projected first-round pick in next year’s NFL Draft, was arrested earlier this month on domestic violence charges after punching his stepfather.
His stepfather later revealed Tunsil was “riding around with agents” the night of the incident, which sparked an argument between he and Tunsil’s mother, Desiree Tunsil, according to the Clarion Ledger.
