Bizarre.

Bizarre.

Perhaps he was not able to do much training during the March-July period?

He will be a bug loss this season, but if he comes back better all around next year, that’s deadly.

does seem strange. almost seems smarter to just sit out this year (no redshirt), you don't lose the eligibility anyway and you give yourself a medical redshirt down the road if anything were to happen in the next two years. but i'm sure there is more to this than we know because pike & co clearly know this too.

While this was surprising news, I don't think it's strange at all. He was having a lot of injury issues and feels like he needs a year to get his body right. Hard to do that during the season.

If we had a deeper team when he was a freshman, he would have been an obvious red shirt candidate because of his size.
