Nkemdiche was in the intensive care unit last month and missed the Rebels' final two games of the season.
Nkemdiche, a senior, is no longer with the team, and the athletic department has not released any details of either incident. Robert Nkemdiche denied a report that he used synthetic drugs, which can make users delirious, before a fall from a hotel window. That same report suggested that Denzel Nkemdiche’s hospitalization was due to synthetic drugs, as well.
Robert Nkemdiche, who is a big-time NFL Draft prospect, was released from the hospital and charged with marijuana possession. He has been suspended from the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma State and will enter the NFL Draft.
