It appears the Tunsil family drama will be coming to a somewhat amicable conclusion.

The Clarion-Ledger reported Friday that Ole Miss starting left tackle Laremy Tunsil and his stepfather, Lindsey Miller, have agreed to drop the domestic violence charges filed against one another. The proper paperwork has been filed, and the case is expected to be dropped by a judge on Monday.

The charges stem from an incident that took place at Tunsil’s mother’s home in late June. According to Tunsil, he assaulted Miller after Miller had shoved his mother, Desiree Tunsil. Miller’s story was that Tunsil assaulted him after Miller warned him about having contact with agents.

It’s within NCAA rules for athletes to have contact with agents, just as long as they don’t sign or accept gifts. Miller’s claims led to the NCAA investigating Tunsil and Ole Miss.
