The NCAA has cleared Ole Miss tackle Laremy Tunsil to return to action Oct. 24 against Texas A&M, the school announced Monday.

The NCAA suspended Tunsil for seven games after determining that Tunsil accepted impermissible benefits, the school said in a release. Ole Miss held out Tunsil the first six games. His seventh game will come Saturday at Memphis.

The NCAA said Tunsil received use of three separate loaner cars, $3,000 for a down payment on a car and other benefits.

The NCAA ordered Tunsil to repay the cost of the benefits, with the money going to charity.

“I take full responsibility for the mistakes I made and want to thank everyone for their continued support,” Tunsil said in the school release. “I want to apologize to my teammates, coaches and the entire Ole Miss family for how my choices affected our program. This was a learning experience, and I’m looking forward to being back on the field with my team and redeeming myself. The last 10 months have been a physical and mental battle for me, but I love playing this game more than anything else. I want to be here for my teammates who are depending on me to finish what we started together.”

Coach Hugh Freeze said in the statement that character matters more than football, and ” I am confident that Laremy will grow from this experience and continue to be a positive member of the University and our football team.”
