Judge rules in favor of Ole Miss recruit Powe

OXFORD — Ole Miss football recruit Jerrell Powe was granted a temporary restraining order today by a Lafayette County Chancery Court, possibly clearing the way for the star defensive tackle to enroll in school and play football this season.

Ole Miss announced last week that Powe, a former Wayne County High School star who played last season for Hargrave Military Academy in Viriginia, was ruled ineligible to receive scholarship aid or play football at Ole Miss this season. That ruling came from the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse, an Iowa-based firm that certifies the eligiblity of all NCAA freshmen athletes.

Generally, to be eligible, athletes must have at least a 2.5 high school grade point average in 14 “core” classes, such as math, science and English, plus score at least 17 on the ACT college entrance exam.

Ole Miss did not say why Powe was not certified by the Clearinghouse, and Powe has declined interview requests.

Jim Carroll, Powe’s Jackson-based attorney, was not immediately available.

David Wells, the Ole Miss compliance director who works with athletic eligiblity, referred all questions to the Ole Miss atttorney Lee Tyner, who was not available for comment.
