A group of former Ole Miss football players has reportedly collected "unknown smartphone and electronic interactions showing they were allegedly misled" by ex-head coach Hugh Freeze about the possibility of NCAA violations and sanctions.
According to CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd, quarterback Shea Patterson, wide receiver Tre Nixon, safety Deontay Anderson, linebacker Jarrion Street, offensive tackle Jack DeFoor and receiver Van Jefferson are working to present the exchanges in an appeal that would grant them immediate eligibility at their new schools.
If the players aren't able to acquire the waiver, NCAA rules state they will have to sit out the 2018 season.
