OXFORD Olive Branch High senior quarterback Cannon Smith said he was ready to become an Ole Miss football player after making an oral commitment to the Rebels on Dec. 3. But two weeks later, his scholarship status with the Rebels has become somewhat unclear because of an off-the-field incident that happened Thursday night in Collierville, Tenn. Smith, whose legal name is Fredrick B. Smith, was pulled over for speeding and arrested for possession of ecstasy, according to Collierville Jail Records. Smith, 19, is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 9. Ecstasy is the slang term for an illegal drug that has effects similar to those of hallucinogens and stimulants and is popular among teens and college students. Possession of ecstasy in Tennessee is a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
