i haven't seen this anywhere else but if true, this is great.  I was really hoping we would target him,

This is one of the more bizarre stories.

He has already used his redshirt year and played four years of college football.

He is somehow applying for a waiver for another year.

CRYING IN THE CLUB

Fantastic addition. This is what I wanted.

So he can play another year?

Can you share his PFF grades from last year?

Is anything really “bizarre” anymore Bobby? Crazy times but thankfully one landed our way.

i would have agreed with this 10-15 years ago.  how can this be crazy when the MIAMI LB is getting year 8 of eligibility.

Sports reference shows him as not taking a snap in 2023. I’m guessing 2021 was his RS yr

Seems pretty cut and dry then? 2021 was his redshirt year, 2023 was a medical redshirt year? 

Former compliance guy here. Generally, you need 2 “missed participation opportunities” to get an extension. Basically NCAA is looking at if you need a 6th year to compete in 4 true seasons. 

My guess is he redshirted FR year then either didn’t participate in another or had a medical redshirt situation. Those are most common. Will be interesting 

Make this approval happen Texas.

You’re not “allowed” two redshirts. But the rules aren’t always the rules anymore

Thanks for adding context. 

there are no rules anymore

so 2021 was his normal redshirt year despite 2 game appearances...but where was he in 2023? Miami or Akron or neither?

I love this new no rules football recruiting and transfer portal.
