The talented and experienced grad transfer looks to be the Rebels' last-minute saving grace at middle linebacker. SB Nation's Oregon State blog, which watched Mageo emerge as a playmaker in Corvallis, gives us a scouting report.
Earlier this week, Oregon State linebacker Rommel Mageo announced that he's coming to Ole Miss as a grad transfer, bringing a year of immediate eligibility to the thinnest position group in Oxford. With big misses on the last couple of Signing Days failing to provide replacements for the departed C.J. Johnson and Denzel Nkemdiche, Mageo will arrive on campus as the favorite to land the starting middle linebacker gig in 2016.
