Honestly, No idea. I know when I hope he does. Next year after Med redshirt this year. But, have no idea. Not really worried about it. If and or when he comes back, is what it is.
When will Jacob Park return to ISU Football
- Thread starter IceCyIce
- Start date
I work with a gentleman who was a prominent member of the team in the 2000s and he’s still connected to staff, and one of said staff administered the third test that came back fail.
This is not Park specific.
If you've ever had a child you know the extreme anxiety a first child brings. Add in possible money issues for most people, needing a support system nearby for sanity, and it's easy to fall into old habits, especially if those habits help you escape that anxiety.
For Park, imagine all of that plus full time practice and school... whoa boy. I couldn't do it and I'm an established adult.

SIAP, but i read on another board that Park posted a pic on Facebook that shows he’s back home in South Carolina.
I'm not doubting you: this seems like the most likely scenario. But I thought there would be a 1-game suspension after the 2nd failed test. Was the staff going above and beyond with the testing?
At this point no one knows a thing, and if they do, they are not talking. Highly unlikely he will be back this year, or if he is, he will not be playing. Other than that no one knows. I would like to have him back, and locked in for next year.
Your best clue on what is going on will probably come through recruiting. If CMC starts recruited JC QBs, or transfer QBs, or even another HS guy besides Re-al, it is a pretty good indication that JP is not coming back.

I’m guessing he went the way of Nelson Muntz’s dad. He’s just out for a pack of smokes and he’ll be back someday.
Seriously though I just assumed he failed a pee test and they’re keeping it on the down low. If he’s smoking some herb I couldn’t care less but if it’s something more serious they could be holding him out while he’s getting help.

I feel for him. If he comes back, it will be a circus. It's always more complicated than we can guess. I hope he does what's best for him.
I’m not friends with him on Facebook so I’ll take your word for it. I just posted what I read on another board
If he fails an NCAA conducted drug test they have to say he failed because of XYZ. If he fails an ISU conducted drug test they can say whatever they want to say..if anything at all. Take that for what it's worth
Whatever the result with Jacob this year, Kyle is now our QB and should be the rest of the year.
I hope Jacob can get well and compete again next year.

That doesn't hold water. I find it hard to believe that He's failed two and it's never gotten out and he hasn't been suspended. This staff doesn't strike me as one who lets things slide.
