Ball-Snatching Memphis Player Autographs His Prize, Instagrams It, Gets Dismissed
The Memphis Tigers lost to Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl yesterday, but safety Reggis Ball wanted a souvenir to commemorate his two interceptions in the game. So, he wrestled an equipment staffer for a game ball and ran. The school dismissed the redshirt senior from the team a few hours after the incident.
The school’s statement:
Ball’s Tigers career is over, but he still has the football:
Taking other teams’ balls is apparently a habit of his. Reggis has game balls from Tulsa and Cincinnati, too:
In a fun coincidence, Reggis Ball is the younger brother of Marcus Ball, the Carolina Panthers player (and former Memphis player) who toted a baseball bat and walked around the field before the Panthers-Giants game earlier this month. The Ball family does not mess around.
