When Matt Luke and Ole Miss arrive in Atlanta for SEC Media Days this week, the Rebel contingent will have undoubtedly face questions about the reason D.D. Bowie is no longer with the program after the school announced the talented sophomore has left the program.

The 2017 U.S. Army All-American was a consensus four-star prospect in the 2017 recruiting cycle. Bowie appeared in eight games as a true freshman and made six tackles and defended one pass with his limited role.

Ole Miss issued the following statement announcing the news:

“D.D. Bowie is leaving the team for personal reasons. We have supported D.D. every step of the way and wish him the best as he moves forward.”
