lol that's wild. nothing is impossible, but this feels like when geordon porter declared for the draft. I'm sorry, son, you're not going to the league.

If it was gonna happen it would have happened 5 years ago.
Seriously wish some of these kids would seriously give European football a chance. Some of them are not even good enough for CFL, much less NFL. Get a few good years in Germany, travel around a bit, and move on to a new life.

Good news all around.
For Miami No scholarship or NIL needed. He is collecting social security.
For the yarders who know they are better than the players we have, there is hope! Pal has already filed the paperwork!

9 years? Is he working on a doctorate?

 

[DoctorWho85]

So he's the same age as the average BYU player.

He only a sophomore too.

Maybe he wants to be the first guy to play college football on the same team as his own son?

Sure would be a small group: This Father-Son duo got to live a lifelong dream of playing football together

 

[Patman]

This should be an embarrassment for all involved

 

[uconnbill]

He has been hurt a lot and he has no desire to play in the NFL from what I gathered. Let him play, who cares? I wish we had a player or two come back to help UConn.

He actually said that playing in NFL was his goal.

Wasn't Bobby Boucher 30 years old as a freshman for the University of Louisiana?

under the NCAA rules at the time that was perfectly fine, it wasn't until the early-2000s they put in a rule that your NCAA "clock" starts when you turn 20. Otherwise it started when you enrolled in school

It was South Central Louisiana State! Red Beaulieu coached UL

 

[Bongo Fury]

Oh, that's right. The coach from the University of Louisiana gave him the boot and he ended up at South Central.
