Tig Barksdale might play at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium after all. JSU plays Ole Miss at 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 4 in Oxford. JSU coach Jack Crowe says Barksdale practiced with the Football Championship Subdivision team on Friday. The freshman and former Mississippi Mr. Football set the Class 5A record with 2,917 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns as a senior in 2007 at South Panola. Although, he was never able to get on the field with the Rebels because of a host of issues. He did not qualify academically in 2008 and attended Hargrave Military Academy. Then he re-signed with the Rebels in 2009, but was arrested on a DUI charge in Batesville just a few days before preseason camp began. After a few days of camp, he left the team for "health reasons." He returned in the spring, but only lasted for a few practices before he was suspended for "breaking team rules." He was poised to return with the team this fall, but just before camp was dismissed after once again "breaking team rules."
