Safety Deontay Anderson Says He Was Misled by Ole Miss, Requests Transfer

Safety Deontay Anderson requested a full transfer release from Ole Miss on Sunday and said he was misled during his recruitment.

Dan Wolken of USA Today reported the news, noting Anderson "will petition to be eligible immediately next year at the school of his choice, including in the SEC."

According to Wolken, Anderson said former head coach Hugh Freeze and athletics director Ross Bjork were the ones to mislead him when discussing Ole Miss' NCAA infractions case. Anderson voluntarily redshirted for the 2017 campaign while the Rebels serve a self-imposed bowl ban.
