Three days after being indefinitely suspended from Ole Miss following yet another off-field incident, linebacker Clarence Jackson and defensive lineman Delvin Jones have been permanently banished from the football program. Multiple media outlets are reporting that Rebels head coach Houston Nutt announced Monday afternoon he has dismissed the bumbling duo from the program. Jackson and Jones were both arrested early Friday morning and charged with public drunkenness, and were hit with a suspension later that day. After D.T. Shackelford suffered what’s likely a season-ending knee injury during spring practice, Jackson took over at weakside linebacker and was listed as No. 1 on the most recent depth chart. This was Jackson’s second arrest in less than a year; last September, he was hit with a burglary charge for allegedly stealing, among other things, a 46-inch flat-screen TV from a building that houses the school’s mathematics department. Jackson played in four games as a true freshman last year. Jones, a sophomore, played in just two games in 2010 before being one of two players suspended for the final two games of the year due to “bad freshman mistakes”.
