Ole Miss dismisses WR Melvin Harris

Ole Miss junior receiver Melvin Harris was dismissed from the football team, coach Houston Nutt announced prior to his weekly press conference earlier today.

“Melvin Harris, I’m going to have to dismiss from our team. We have really tried to help him for three years and I don’t want to get all the way involved in everything or the scenario of this thing, but he will continue to go to school and hopefully get his life in order,” Nutt said. “He’ll probably transfer to a 1-AA school and finish it out. It’s just sad but I know this: We did everything we could to try to help him. I know that.”
