Report: Ole Miss investigating whether Laremy Tunsil messages were altered

Ole Miss officials reportedly have determined that text messages that showed up on Laremy Tunsil’s Instagram account the night of the first round of the NFL draft are genuine but that the school is investigating whether the messages were altered in some way.

During a news conference a few minutes after he was drafted No. 13 overall by the Miami Dolphins, Tunsil admitted taking money from an Ole Miss coach. He was asked a follow-up question, but didn’t answer before he was removed from the podium; he hasn’t addressed the situation in two news conferences in Miami.
