Former Clemson QB Chad Kelly tweets he's going to Ole Miss



Chad Kelly is heading to Ole Miss in 2015. The former Clemson quarterback tweeted he was a Rebel on Wednesday.


He confirmed the news in a text to RebelGrove.com.


Kelly was dismissed from Clemson in April for "conduct detrimental to the program." He was competing with Cole Stoudt and freshman Deshaun Watson to be Clemson's starting quarterback in 2014. Stoudt was named the starter, but was replaced by Watson during the 2014 season when Watson wasn't sidelined by injury.


Earlier Wednesday, Clemson announced that Watson would miss the bowl game because of surgery to fix a torn ACL and Stoudt would start against Oklahoma.


Kelly, the nephew of Bills QB Jim Kelly, enrolled at East Mississippi Community College for the 2014 season and threw for 3.905 yards and 47 touchdowns. EMCC won its third NJCAA title in four years with a 34-17 win over Iowa Western on Saturday.


At Ole Miss, Kelly will again have a chance to start. Bo Wallace is a senior and was backed up this season by Ryan Buchanan and DeVante Kincade. Both are redshirt freshmen.


During Clemson's spring game in April, Kelly reportedly yelled at members of Clemson's coaching staff during halftime. He didn't play in the second half, and the game gave Stoudt a leg up in the quarterback competition.


In January 2012, when Kelly was recruited as a four-star quarterback out of high school, tweeted some trash talk towards Stoudt about his impending arrival on campus.


If Kelly still has his swagger, he'll fit right in among the SEC, don't you think? If he needs a lesson in Ole Miss trash talk, he should chat with former Ole Miss basketball player Marshall Henderson.


And we'd be remiss in writing a post about Kelly without including this rap video from before he arrived at Clemson. Hopefully we can get a remix.
