Ole Miss quarterback ruled ineligible for Peach Bowl vs. Penn State

Spencer Sanders is the backup quarterback to starter Jaxon Dart. It has been that way all season in one of the strangest decisions of the offseason. Sanders entered the transfer portal choosing to leave Oklahoma State where he was the starter. The decision was odd to transfer to a school such as Ole Miss who already had an established starter. Regardless, Sanders pulled the trigger and did not win the starting job. Now, it has been announced by Brad Logan of Inside the Rebels (the Ole Miss 247sports page) that Spencer Sanders cannot participate in the Peach Bowl against the Penn State football team.
