The junior from Loganville, Ga., was alert and conscious when paramedics arrived, according to the report.
"We are still learning about the matter, but obviously Robert's well-being is our greatest concern," Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said in a statement viewed by ESPN.
Nkemdiche is one of the top prospects for the 2016 NFL draft and No. 5 overall in the rankings of prospects by ESPN.
