Time will tell. If they intend to redshirt him this year, it probably won't make much of a difference.

Combined with NIl, it sure has potential to encourage fuzzy academics with top recruits "satisfying academic requirements early" to reclassify to an earlier class. Everyone's gonna be trying to get a jump on the next big recruit.

Joe Nuxhall pitched in 526 games over his 16 year career. When he made his first appearance in 1944, he was 15 years and 316 days old.

He remains the youngest player to appear in an American League or National League game in Major League Baseball.

Maybe one of the old men in his family fancies the kid another Nuxhall and has been getting into his head.

As if recruiting, the portal, NIL, etc. wasn't already a big mess, why not throw this in the mix?

Certainly ripe for corruption

And so is the jump from 10th grade to college freshman!

Even if a person were quite intellectually precocious.
