Ole Miss offensive lineman Kermit Tyler, a freshman from New Orleans, has been diagnosed with an allergic reaction to strenuous exercise.

Tyler has been barred from playing for Ole Miss, though the school will honor his scholarship. His football career appears to be finished.

"This is just a very freak incident," Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt told the Commercial Appeal. "I'm just glad our doctors and (head athletic trainer) Tim Mullins went to Jackson, and I'm glad they did the blood work and really studied it and found this thing."
