Former Gator Jamar Hornsby to be indicted, will not play for Ole Miss

Former Gator Jamar Hornsby has been indicted on felony aggravated assualt charges in Starkville, Miss., and was immediately released from the Ole Miss football team.

The indictment stems from charges that Hornsby assaulted a man in a McDonald's parking lot last March.Benjamin Jenkins alleges that Hornsby repeatedly hit him with brass knuckles, causing a fractured nose, swollen jaw, and scrapes and cuts . 

Hornsby played last season at East Mississippi Community College and was scheduled to join the Rebels this fall.

Hornsby was kicked off the Florida team in 2008 after he was arrested and charged with using the credit card of a UF student who died in a motorcycle accident in 2007. Hornsby, who was a friend of the woman, used the card after her death.
