It is going to be SO fun to see how much Pease can use him over the middle and open up our receivers even more!

I'm so glad he is healthy and back. We missed him! Seems like a wonderful young man as well.

Does Cole have 1 or 2 years left since his medical situation last year? That would be amazing if he still has 2 more years.
There is a chance he has the unique 7th year of eligibility. He will require an eligibility waiver that is processed at the end of the season, like Chis Walker and Nico Ramos last year.

This will be Cole’s 7th season.
2018-Greyshirt
2019-Redshirt
2020-Covid
2021-RS Freshman
2022-RS Sophomore
2023-RS Junior(injured)
2024-RS Senior
It is possible he might get cleared for an 8th season. There is a Miami TE who will set an FBS record when he plays his 9th season next year.
You’re right. Greyshirt years are weird though, as he wasn’t officially on the team until the second semester (spring 2019). Once he is enrolled full-time, his clock starts, 5 years to play 4 (6 to play 4 with Covid). I group Greyshirts in with transfers and early enrollment freshmen (Iverson young last year) because they start practice in the spring after the season ends. Hopefully, if Cole wants to play two years the NCAA rules in his favor.

Grey shirts also don’t get a schollie for that year and pay their own way. Basically the only benefit to greyshirt is the coach is promising you he’ll put you in schollie the following year. I think you can attend practices as a spectator and go to meetings maybe but no actual on field practice w/ the team. They’re an ncaa designation though so I’d still count it as a year with the program. I believe Braxton greyshirted also but then skipped a RS year.

I think greyshirts have no scholarship, can’t be full time students (10 credits), and can’t do any team activities. I assume they don’t lift in the football weight room, but don’t know.

Per a Bleacher Report article,
“Here is how grey-shirting works:
- A player commits to a team that is over-signed.
- That player either doesn't go to school in the fall, or enrolls part-time and pays their own way. They are not officially on the team.
- In January of the following year, that player enrolls full-time and officially joins the team. They are technically part of the recruiting class for the following year.
Every player has a five year window to play four seasons. That window starts the second a player is enrolled in college full-time or are on scholarship. Since the player is not enrolled full time and is not on scholarship, their "NCAA clock" has not started.
Once they join a team, they still have the full five year window and the ability to red-shirt if they so choose.
While grey-shirting, players are not on the team.
They can not practice or condition with the team. They can not be given any advantage not extended to the normal student body. Grey-shirts are not allowed at team meetings or functions either. For all intents they are essentially, regular students.“
