With both sides pressing charged against each other, Ole Miss offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil is scheduled to meet his stepfather, Lindsey Miller, in court on July 14.

Miller alleged Tunsil, an All-SEC offensive tackle, shoved him, knocked him down and hit him repeatedly. Tunsil stated he witnessed Miller shoving his mother, Desiree, before stepping in to subdue him.

According to ESPN, Tunsil and Miller will appear in court to sort out last Thursday's physical altercation.

A police report shows Miller told deputies of the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department that Tunsil had been "riding around with football agents," the Jackson Clarion-Ledger reported. The report shows Miller spoke to Deputy Rudy Howell Thursday, saying Tunsil pushed up against a wall and hit him repeatedly.

Miller also told police "Tunsil and the agents" left the scene in a yellow convertible, the Ledger reported. Tunsil then turned himself in on assault charges Friday, before being released on bond and filing charges against Miller, who was brought into custody Tuesday and released as well.

"We are aware that Laremy and his family have met with potential agents, which is within his NCAA rights as a student-athlete," Freeze said in a statement to the Ledger on Tuesday. "Regarding the altercation, we will continue to gather facts and cooperate with the proper authorities."

Freeze previously told ESPN Tunsil told him he was defending his mother when Miller shoved her. An unnamed source backed this version of events, but it is not clear what his or her relation is to the situation. It appears that Ole Miss is reserving judgment on Tunsil's playing status until they have more details.

Tunsil is attempting to return to the playing field after suffering a broken leg and dislocated ankle at the end of last season. The All-SEC offensive lineman is expected to be a high selection in next year's NFL Draft.
