Ole Miss freshman quarterback Grant Tisdale has entered the transfer portal, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed to SuperTalk Mississippi. The news was first reported by Rivals.
Tisdale, a three-star, dual-threat prospect from Allen, Texas, arrived on campus in January and was seen as the favorite to serve as Matt Corral�s back up coming out of spring football. But instead, Tisdale has spent most of the season confined to the sidelines watching Corral and John Rhys Plumlee man the signal-calling duties. Tisdale became the odd man out in the California game when Corral exited in the fourth quarter with a rib injury and Plumlee � who is a two-sport athlete and did not go through spring practice � entered the game in place of Corral.
Plumlee nearly led a comeback against the Bears and sparked a stagnant offense, mostly with his feet. Corral came back two weeks later in a road loss at Missouri and the two have split reps since, leaving Tisdale on the outside looking in.
Tisdale�s Ole Miss career lasted less than one season. His only game action came on the final drive of a blowout loss at Alabama in late September. He threw a 28-yard touchdown pass.
�The competitor in me wants to play,� Tisdale said last week. �I feel like I can help this team win, but at the same time, Matt and (Plumlee) are doing their thing. Whoever is in, I feel like we can change the game.�
