Ole Miss DT Robert Nkemdiche reportedly falls from Atlanta hotel

Ole Miss star defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche fell 15 feet from an Atlanta hotel on Sunday, according to WSBTV.com.

Atlanta police told the TV station that Nkemdiche broke a window and then walked approximately 15 feet, climbed over a wall and fell about 15 feet at the Hyatt Hotel in the Buckhead area.

Police found a small amount of marijuana in the hotel room, according to the report.

"We are still learning about the matter, but obviously Robert's wellbeing is our greatest concern," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said in a Sunday afternoon statement.

Nkemdiche was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital with what are considered minor injuries.

Nkemdiche was named second-team All-American by the Associated Press on Sunday. The defensive tackle registered 29 tackles and three sacks in 11 starts for the Rebels (9-3) this season.

He is projected to be a top five pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-4, 296-pound Nkemdiche is a native of Loganville, Ga., and was one considered the nation's top recruits out of high school when he signed with the Rebels in 2013.

It's been a dramatic year at times for the Nkemdiche family. His brother, Ole Miss linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche, was reportedly hospitalized last month with an undisclosed illness.
