Marlon Humphrey, a cornerback from Hoover, Alabama who is considered one of the best players in the Class of 2014, recently went on a recruiting trip to Oxford, Mississippi. He claims he encountered racism, and said there are KKK rallies “every month.” The Clarion Ledger has recapped Humphrey’s tweets on the topic, and the paper notes he’s not the only recruit who has talked about racism at the school.

OXFORD, MS (abc24.com) - Vandalism, racial slurs and obscenities. There are more racial tensions to report at the University of Mississippi.

Some troubles date back to the start of the school year. Ole Miss made national news last week when students protested President Obama's re-election. A few were heard shouting racial taunts.

The university has just released information on racial attacks that go back months. Most involve a freshman dorm and repeat instances of vandalism. Several attacks targeted an African-American student.
