And the offseason of discontent in Oxford continues.
According to both the Jackson Clarion-Ledger and ESPN.com, Ole Miss linebacker Detric Bing-Dukes and cornerback Ken Webster were arrested Tuesday night on one count each of shoplifting. No details of what led to the arrest and charges have been released as of yet.
“We are gathering facts on the matter,” interim head coach Matt Luke said through a school spokesperson.
Webster started all 13 games in 2015 and started the 2016 opener as well before going down with what proved to be a season-ending leg injury on the first series of the Florida State game. The ongoing recovery from the injury caused Webster to miss the whole of spring practice, but he was expected to be fully healthy for summer camp.
Bing-Dukes, originally a Georgia signee who transferred from the Bulldogs in August of 2015, played in 11 games last season after transferring in from the junior college ranks. He started three of those contests.
Both players were projected to be starters on the Rebels’ defense.
