Is a medical redshirt a possibility? I'm not very knowledgeable on what is necessary for that but I would think now would be a good time to seek one.
i think that if he were to miss another season for medical reasons that he could petition the ncaa to get his fifth year back (pretty sure that's the reason dyrell got a medical redshirt). from what i understand, when you step on campus, you have five years to fulfill four years of eligibility .. if he were to get injured, he could get that FIFTH year ... so in short, he'll have 2 yrs of eligibility left starting next season, not three.
Lots of NFL teams checking in today to watch some film and stay for practice
What is so special about today that has the NFL teams showing up?
Happens every year during preseason, they come in and take a look, evaluate, etc. This year there "seems" to be more teams, that may not be the case but it sure feels like it. Doesn't hurt having a potential first round QB on the field...What is so special about today that has the NFL teams showing up?
So with Dorian Johnson seeming more like a longshot now I'm reminded of how bad the 2013 O-line might be. I can see Carlis Parker starting as a true freshman and being used mainly as a rusher in a platoon with Leal sort of like Tyrod was. If that happens at the very least Beamer might finally get rid of some dead weight (ahem Newsome) Of course I'll change my opinion of Newsome if the O-line is decent the next 2 years. We'll see
If you were banking on Johnson being a saving grace for the O-line then you were sadly mistaken. Don't write off anyone when they have a year to improve. Its getting really old that you don't give anyone a chance.
