2 Months Later, Pete Golding Responds to Dabo Swinney's Tampering Rant

Golding said Ferrelli visited Ole Miss before Clemson enrollment and wanted to play for the Rebels, as Clemson pursues an NCAA tampering complaint.

  • On Tuesday, Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding addressed tampering allegations from Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney regarding linebacker Luke Ferrelli, stating, "There's two sides to every story."
  • Swinney previously accused Golding of tampering, comparing the situation to "having an affair on your honeymoon" while urging the NCAA to investigate the linebacker's departure.
  • Ferrelli visited during his recruitment, but Golding told him, "But right now, we have a green-dot Mike," indicating no roster spot was initially available for the linebacker.
  • After former Rebels linebacker Dottery left for LSU, the linebacker spot opened, allowing Ferrelli to transfer to Ole Miss this spring after his January departure from Clemson.
  • Declining to "use the podium as a grandstand," Golding emphasized the NCAA compliance office should handle enforcement, as no official ruling on tampering allegations has emerged after two months.
