...Hearing they might RS him. Might as well. Don't really need him right now and he could be an absolute STUD the next two years with some seasoning. This isn't official yet, just a rumbling. He's still eligible though, I'm told.
Do they have to apply for a medical redshirt since he played in the early games?
Or did the rules around redshirts change?
Medical redshirts are clearly ruled. Basically, if he didn't play past the first 3 games, he gets one. The rule is so bastardized as far as whether someone was actually injured or not, it's not even funny.
I wasn't sure exactly how it worked. Could they basically say he had a hangnail and would get one?
They are technically different. For example Naz got a medical redshirt, and it was basically automatic since he never used his regular redshirt.I thought you could only get a medical redshirt if you had already used your regular redshirt. And if he played even one snap, he can't use a regular redshirt. So I'm not sure how this could work out to get him two more seasons.
Yeah. I think a couple years ago MSU had a guy win scout team POY and he not only got the medical, he got a sixth year.
This whole redshirt thing just gets more confusing all the time. I am assuming, since the coaches are talking to CW about doing it, that there is a pretty clear, clean way to make it happen even though he has played a few snaps. It would be great to give him another year to play, as things look to be pretty well under control at this point in terms of DL.
That was my thought, too. I think he'll be 27 on senior day. There will be freshman on other teams in awe of a grown man running at them!Dude is going to be in his late 20's before he's done, lol.
