Oregon State LB Rommel Mageo transferring to Ole Miss, can play immediately

A Rebel team in desperate need of linebacker help for 2016 just landed a graduate transfer who will probably be the Day 1 starter.

Well hot damn, Ole Miss might have just picked up a starting linebacker for 2016. Rommel Mageo, a graduate transfer from Oregon State, announced via Twitter that he's joining the Rebels. He'll be immediately eligible to play and, according to Ole Miss Spirit's Chuck Rounsaville, will join the team in June.

There's no way to overstate how huge this is for the Ole Miss defense which is desperate straights at the linebacker position as it opens spring practice.
