Former Ole Miss DL Jerrell Powe cordially invites Mark Emmert and NCAA to his graduation ceremony

Former Ole Miss defensive lineman Jerrell Powe finished his college career with the Rebs in 2010 under the head coaching of [checks notes] Houston Nutt, and was picked in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. These are all true statements.

Former Ole Miss defensive lineman Jerrell Powe also apparently holds strong feelings for his college football program, as well he should. Powe, something of an NFL journeyman who currently floats about as a free agent, completed his degree this spring semester. That’s excellent news, and follows in the train of a number of pro guys that return to complete degrees after leaving the, um, amateur ranks before graduating.
