Masoli chooses Mississippi

FOOTBALL: Kicked off the team at Oregon, Jeremiah Masoli has found a new football home at Mississippi.

The former Ducks quarterback, dismissed from the team after two run-ins with the law, visited the Ole Miss campus in Oxford this weekend and coach Houston Nutt offered him a place on the team as a walk-on.

Masoli, a California native, posted on his website that he intends to take up the offer.

He can play immediately under NCAA rules because he has earned his undergraduate degree and is enrolling in graduate school. He said he will enter the parks and recreation management program.
