This includes quarterback Shea Patterson
Ole Miss football players can now transfer to any school that wants them with no restrictions from the school, Yahoo Sports reported Tuesday.
This includes quarterback Shea Patterson, who Fox Sports reported Tuesday has a scheduled visit with Michigan.
Some big recruiting news: #Michigan is expecting to host talented #OleMiss QB Shea Patterson & OM safety Deontay Anderson on official visits this weekend, source tells me. And there might be more Rebels visiting Ann Arbor as well.
The Yahoo report came after the school initially said anybody who sought a transfer could not go to another SEC school or any team on the Ole Miss schedule in 2018 or 2019.
That decision came after the NCAA on Friday handed down a bowl ban that includes the 2018 season and other sanctions that included a loss of scholarships.
As things stand, all Ole Miss players who will be seniors in 2018 are eligible to transfer without having to sit out a season, whereas all other players will be required to sit out as per usual NCAA rules.
Patterson, who would be an Ole Miss junior in 2018 if he stays, picked Ole Miss ahead of LSU and other schools when he played high school football at Calvary Baptist Academy in Shreveport and at IMG Academy in Florida.
The Yahoo sports report said multiple players and families said they were lied to about the impending sanctions and felt they should be able to transfer without restrictions.
