• Masoli to join Ole Miss

  Oxford, MS (Sports Network) - Former Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli has apparently decided to join the Ole Miss Rebels for the upcoming college football season.

  Masoli, who pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary in March and was eventually dismissed from the Oregon football team, enrolled in Mississippi's graduate program and will be a walk-on in the fall.

  The two-year starting quarterback for the Ducks was previously suspended for the 2010 season after he and teammate Garrett Embry were accused of stealing two laptops and a guitar from a campus fraternity house in late January. After failing to adhere to head coach Chip Kelly's guidelines that were handed down after the incident, he was kicked off the team permanently.

  Masoli flirted with jumping to the NFL before making the decision to join Mississippi.

  He will not have to sit out a year per transfer rules because he already has obtained his undergraduate degree.

  Masoli is coming off a terrific season in leading the Ducks to the Rose Bowl, as he threw for 2,147 yards and 15 touchdowns while rushing for 668 yards and 13 scores.
