Ole Miss football safety Joenel Aguero has been ejected from the Rebels' Week 4 game at Florida because of a targeting call
Gainesville, FL — Ole Miss football safety Joenel Aguero was ejected from the game against Florida. The University of Mississippi (3-0, 1-0 SEC) was facing off against the University of Florida (3-0, 1-0) on September 26. At halftime, Florida had a significant 17-3 lead. Aguero was flagged for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Florida wide receiver Bailey Stockton with just 3:44 minutes remaining in the contest.
This tackle resulted in a touchdown for Florida. Aguero will be suspended for the rest of the game, but will not miss Ole Miss' next game in Week 6 against Vanderbilt on October 10. It marks the first time in 2026 that Ole Miss has been penalized for a targeting offense. Sam Hutchens, a sports reporter for the Clarion Ledger, provided this account.
