Upson-Lee’s Fagan landing at Mississippi

          A little more than two weeks after announcing he was leaving Georgia and entering the transfer portal, former Upson-Lee standout Tye Fagan has a new home.

          Mississippi announced Friday that Fagan was headed to Oxford.

"We are excited to welcome Tye to our Ole Miss family," Ole Miss coach Kermit Davis said in a release. "Tye had some great games in the SEC this season, including 19 versus the Rebels. We have known Tye and his family for years and know he fits our program in every facet on and off the court." 

          Mississippi was one of the finalists for Fagan after his stellar career at Upson-Lee. He initially committed to Middle Tennessee State when Davis coached there, and changed his mind when Davis left for Ole Miss.

          Fagan, who played in 89 games at Georgia, will have two seasons of eligibility.
