Rebel Rags files lawsuit against former recruits

Ole Miss released their response to NCAA allegations against the school’s football program on June 6.

After releasing responses from head coach Hugh Freeze and former Ole Miss assistant coach Barney Farrar, the whirlwind story further developed once Rebel Rags filed a lawsuit against Mississippi State’s Leo Lewis and Kobe Jones.

Rebel Rags is a local Oxford business that is known for selling Ole Miss apparel. Lewis and Jones claimed in their testimonies that they received free merchandise from the store while they were both recruits.

The attorney for Rebel Rags, Charlie Merkel, stated that in the lawsuit the company is seeking to recover damages and harm that were caused due to the “false claims” made by the three parties.
