Pretty sure he can not participate in any team activities until January.Ur he could be a "walk on" per se

If he is given a academic scholarship I don't see why he can't walk on and at least practice...... not sure how that works though.Pretty sure he can not participate in any team activities until January.
The Lord works in mysterious ways sometimes. For all the reasons above, could be the best thing that ever happens to him. Really glad it looks like it`ll work out, both from a football and academic personal perspective and very happy he`s with us.If this young man has the academic chops a grey shirt could be very advantageous to him. It lets him get some classes under his belt before clock starts ticking on his athletic eligibility. If pro ball is not there in three or four years, he could get much of his masters degree paid for as well.

not true....he will have 5 to play four from August of 2018. he could use his scholarship from Jan. 2018 through December of 2022.eligibility starts as soon as you enroll, whether or not you are on a team. A person who never joins any team is burning eligibility. However, you get 5 to play 4, so he may not care if he burns one year on a grey shirt instead of a red shirt
If he does not enroll in school, the clock does not start. If he does enroll in school on an academic scholarship, which was the premise from earlier in the thread, then his eligibility also starts. Unless they changed this rule in the last year, I'm pretty sure that's how it works.not true....he will have 5 to play four from August of 2018. he could use his scholarship from Jan. 2018 through December of 2022.
That's what grayshirts typically do of course, but I'm not aware of there even being an requirement they enroll at all. Anyway, I said if, because I'm not even going to try to unravel the types of academic scholarships available, and how those interact with NCAA requirements. If he can go on academic scholarship right away, great, but if that starts his clock I would think he'd consider other options.Note: he could enroll part time and the clock wouldn't start, but i've never heard of a part rime academic scholarship.
all of them enroll part time at Bama or Shelton State on their own dimeIf he does not enroll in school, the clock does not start.

I am not aware of any previous grayshirt enrolling at Bama before the winter semester when their scholly begins.That's what grayshirts typically do of course, but I'm not aware of there even being an requirement they enroll at all.

"On their own dime" is the key. No scholly, no clock. Any scholly (including academic) = clock starts. I believe that's the way it works anyway.all of them enroll part time at Bama or Shelton State on their own dime
So if I were to go to college for three years paying my own way and not playing football, I could then join the football team and play up to 5 years?"On their own dime" is the key. No scholly, no clock. Any scholly (including academic) = clock starts. I believe that's the way it works anyway.
Nope, as I said in an earlier post, the clock starts the moment a student enrolls full time. It has nothing to do with whether a guy has a scholarship or pays his own way.So if I were to go to college for three years paying my own way and not playing football, I could then join the football team and play up to 5 years?
This is how I have always interpreted it also.Nope, as I said in an earlier post, the clock starts the moment a student enrolls full time. It has nothing to do with whether a guy has a scholarship or pays his own way.
