Ole Miss DT Robert Nkemdiche plays saxophone in blues club (Video)

Ole Miss Rebels defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche is recovering from his fall out of a hotel window last weekend by playing the saxophone at a jazz club and showing no signs of his scary fall.

Robert Nkemdiche’s status for the Sugar Bowl between Ole Miss and the Oklahoma State Cowboys is up in the air after the All-American defensive lineman fell 15 feet fall outside of an Atlanta hotel last Saturday and charge for marijuana possession.

But in the meantime, the Rebels defensive tackle was out on Thursday night playing some saxophone at a blues club in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

Nkemdiche posted a short video of him hitting the notes on the sax and from the naked eye looks like he’s healthy enough to play a football game, which is rather shocking considering the circumstances stemming from his fall out of a hotel window and falling 15 feet after trying to climb over a wall.

Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze hasn’t said anything concrete on Nkemdiche’s playing status, but from a health standpoint it looks like he should be good to go for the Pokes. But the bigger reason in play here is the disciplinary issue stemming from his marijuana possession charge when police found seven marijuana cigarettes in the room Nkemdiche was in before his fall.

The Sugar Bowl is likely to be Nkemdiche’s final game with Ole Miss before the junior declares for the NFL Draft where he’s projected to be a top-five pick. It would be a sad way to end his Ole Miss career after he came to Oxford as the nation’s No. 1 recruit and gave the Rebel fans hope he would be able to take Ole Miss to an SEC Championship. It didn’t happen, but at least Nkemdiche can play a mean sax.
