Alabama is the landing spot for former Ole Miss kicker Andy Pappanastos, according to multiple media reports.

The former Trinity Presbyterian (Montgomery, Ala.) standout visited Tuscaloosa last week after receiving his release from the Rebels in January.

Pappanastos, a former Kohl's Kicking All-American in the class of 2012, set the Alabama high school record for field goals made at 48.

So he sits out in 2016 and has one year of eligibility after that?

If he graduated he won't have to sit at all.

Article says he's in Tuscaloosa for graduate school, which would indicate immediate eligibility.

Looks like he'll provide depth for 2016 (hope it's not needed, but Griffith's back has been a bit fragile), and compete for the starting spot in 2017.

Must not have been paying attention. I never realized Wassom backed out. Too bad the NCAA doesn't have the cajones' to step up and do something with these states to count their Hope Scholarships against football for anyone who is playing...

Yeah we needed him this year. The other kicker who got busted for drugs last year... I don't think he's back with the team this year. So, I think we're okay for 2016.
