This morning, defensive back Jamar Hornsby was indicted on felony aggravated assault charges.
Shortly thereafter, Hornsby became an ex-Rebel as the 2009 recruit was dismissed from the Ole Miss football program, the school announced in press release.
“I am releasing Jamar Hornsby and he will not be a member of our football team,” head coach Houston Nutt said. “We wish him nothing but the best in the future.”
Hornsby was a second-team JUCO All-American last season.
SuperPrep had him listed as the No. 3 JUCO player in the nation.
Hornsby was accused of hitting a man in March with brass knuckles during an altercation at a Starkville, Miss., McDonald’s drive-thru.
In 2007, the DB was kicked out of the Florida program after being arrested for fraudulently using the credit card of the deceased girlfriend of one of his then-Gator teammates. He ultimately pleaded no contest to misdemeanor counts stemming from that incident.
Hornsby was still on probation for the above incident at the time of his latest run-in with the law.
