Ole Miss star defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche fell from a fourth-floor window hotel and reportedly sustained multiple cuts from the incident, according to Fox 5 Atlanta's Cody Chaffins.
The police have reported that around 11:18 p.m. Eastern time, two police units responded to a person injured who had fallen from a hotel room and was then transported to a Grady Memorial and found in stable condition, according to Zach Klein of ABC News affiliate WSB. The report states that units found a small amount of suspected marijuana in the hotel room, and the victim (Nkemdiche) broke the window, walked 15 feet, climbed over a wall and fell approximately 15 feet to the ground, according to Klein.
Nkemdiche is one of the top NFL prospects in the upcoming 2016 NFL Draft, and some have projected him to be the top overall pick in 2016. The 6-foot-4, 296-pound defensive lineman had three sacks and seven tackles for a loss on the year. Nkemdiche was just named to the AP All-American second team, and the university has yet to respond to the incident.
The Ole Miss Rebels are scheduled to play the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day, and it's uncertain if this incident will have any affect on whether Nkemdiche will play.
