Masoli sends scholarship release papers to Ole Miss

Jeremiah Masoli becoming a member of the Ole Miss Rebels is a step closer today, the Memphis Commercial Appeal is reporting.
Head coach Houston Nutt confirmed to the paper that the former Oregon quarterback has sent his scholarship release papers to the Rebels. Masoli graduated from Oregon earlier this month and is now free to sign with another school without sitting out a transfer year, provided the school with which he signs offers a graduate program not available at Oregon.
Nutt, who has stated he will look to add a third quarterback following the transfer of Raymond Cotton, also confirmed via a text his interest in possibly bringing Masoli into the fold.
"Checking all avenues," Nutt texted to the Commercial Appeal. "I anticipated Jevon Snead's departure, leaving school early for the NFL draft, but Cotton's really puts us in a bind. Will let you know if I get serious with Masoli."
Nutt also said he's certain Masoli emailed his release papers to several other schools, although Ole Miss is the only one to have confirmed receiving them.
