Ole Miss might be facing Leonard Fournette without its leading tackler. Hugh Freeze said Wednesday that starting outside linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche is questionable to play against LSU because of "a personal matter," according to Ben Garrett of Scout.com.
Denzel, if you're tuning in for the first time, is the older (but much smaller) brother of Robert Nkemdiche, the odds on favorite to the be the top pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.
This season has been the closest Denzel has been to recapturing the form that made him a breakout star as a freshman, when he posted 83 tackles and was named to the All-SEC team.
