Louisiana State University (LSU) American football star, Princewill Umanmielen has been hit with a law suit by his former school, University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) on allegations of failing to meet clauses in his contract with their team, Sports247 reports.

Ole Miss are seeking compensation fromUmanmielen, who was previouly a top player with University of Nebraska’s Cornhuskers football team in USA’s National Collegiate Atheltics Assocaition (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision Big Ten Conference.

The LSU’s sack leader was served legal papers related to a July lawsuit filed by the University of Mississippi which alleges that The Rebels’ former the former edge rusher owes Ole Miss $550,000 because of his decision to transfer to Louisiana State’s Tigers.

Papers filed at Lafayette County Circuit Court in Mississippi indicate that the suit was served on Tuesday, five days before LSU’s visit to Ole Miss in a grudge game that has also been heightened by Lane Kiffin’s decision to leave his coaching job at Mississippi and join LSU.

Although that hapoened in Novermber last ywar, tension continues brewing between both sides and the issue of Umanmielen added fire to the scenario, as he allegedly failed to compensate Ole Miss for his departure as required by revenue-sharing agreements signed in January.

A report by ESPN revealed, “Princewill Umanmielen was officially served papers in Ole Miss’ lawsuit against him. And those papers arrived just days before Umanmielen returns to Oxford as a member of LSU’s football team.

“The Tigers’ edge rusher was served outside the LSU football facility on Tuesday. Ole Miss had filed suit against Umanmielen and former offensive lineman Devin Harper this summer after the two had followed coach Lane Kiffin to LSU.

“Ole Miss officials requested payment from Harper and Umanmielen on January 16 and January 22, respectively, according to a timeline provided in July. Neither player responded within the 30-day deadline to make the payment.

“Umanmielen and Harper were served with a summons on August 14 and didn’t respond within the 30-day window. The school accuses both Harper and Umanmielen of breaking the revenue-sharing contracts they signed with Ole Miss in January.

“According to the suit, both players signed new deals with Ole Miss in early January, when the Rebels were alive in the College Football Playoff. However, both players entered the transfer portal in the days after Ole Miss’ loss to Miami in the semifinals and joined Kiffin at LSU.”

Super Falcons and Washington Spirit midfielder Deborah Abiodun has successfully undergone surgery following an injury that has ruled her out for the remainder of the season.

Sports247 reports that the 22-year-old Nigerian midfielder is now beginning the rehabilitation phase of her recovery as she works towards returning to full fitness.

Abiodun’s injury is also expected to keep her out of Nigeria’s upcoming Olympic qualifiers against Comoros next month, denying the Super Falcons the services of one of their emerging midfield talents for the crucial fixtures.

Despite the setback, Abiodun has maintained a positive outlook and used her experience to send an encouraging message to young footballers who may find themselves facing similar challenges.

Reflecting on the emotional side of undergoing surgery, the midfielder admitted that she was initially scared and nervous but encouraged other players to remain patient and resilient during difficult moments.

“It’s tough sometimes, but you got to keep going. Thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers,” Abiodun said.

She explained that her message was particularly intended to motivate younger players who may be dealing with injuries and the uncertainty that comes with being sidelined.

“I was scared and nervous. It gets better, hang in there,” she added.

The setback represents a frustrating interruption for Abiodun, who has continued to establish herself at both club and international level. Her absence will be felt by the Washington Spirit for the remainder of the campaign and could also affect Nigeria’s plans for the upcoming Olympic qualifying fixtures.

For now, the focus shifts entirely to rehabilitation as Abiodun begins the long road back to competitive football.

The Super Falcons midfielder will be hoping for a smooth recovery and a strong return to the pitch when she is eventually cleared to resume action.
