NCAA Seeks 7 Phone Images in Ole Miss Probe Over Luke Ferrelli Transfer

3 articles · Updated · Fox Carolina · Jul 22

Summary

  • ESPN reported the NCAA has requested forensic imaging of 7 cell phones — Ferrelli’s, Pete Golding’s and five Ole Miss staffers’ — as it investigates Clemson’s tampering complaint.
  • The request targets records tied to Dabo Swinney’s timeline alleging Ole Miss recruited and offered linebacker Luke Ferrelli while he was still on Clemson’s roster.
  • SEC Media Days brought little new public response: quarterback Trinidad Chambliss said the issue was "above my head," and Golding avoided directly addressing the Ferrelli allegations.
  • Golding instead criticized the transfer-portal system as broken, while Swinney said at last week’s ACC Kickoff that he has no update and wants consequences if tampering is proven.
  • Clemson general manager Jordan Sorrells said the program has moved on even as the NCAA inquiry remains in its early stages.
