[MiramarVol]

He practiced today. First time this season. He did individual drills today without pads. Shooting for the SCe as a return.
Austin Ward

thats good news :hi:

 

[sjt18]

Why would he? He's eligible for a medical RS isn't he?

 

[lylsmorr]

Awesome

 

[hdrizzle21]

Why waste a year to play 4 or 5 games, not smart IMO

 

[MiramarVol]

I don't know, he RS'd last year. He'd probably need apply for it. We need him back to add some good depth at CB.

 

[Outdors21]

He'd need to be granted a 6th year of eligibility and typically, it seems like that only happens if a guy is injured during their senior year.

 

[SpringBokVol]

He needs to play this year... redshirted last year and will not get a medical redshirt 6th year if he is available to play this year and is held out by choice.

Another side note: Lincoln doubtful for UGA.

or you play for texas...

UT players never have any luck with the NCAA on this. Even in cases where it seems appropriate. Apparently Vols do not qualify.

Hmm...I'm not really sure how to feel about this.

Palardy will be fine. More experience with the first team special teams unit this week. In sure he wants to redeem himself for the missed fg.

Its been along time since we had a medical sixth season granted. The last I can remember was Jerry Colquitt. Then he gets hurt in the opener against UCLA.

 

[Outdors21]

Austin Rogers was granted it, but chose to not play.

Yeah I think so too. I felt sorry for the kid.

 

[Hobock]

Great news about Naz. If he's able to play and contribute, he should forego the RS.

If a guy who's never played a snap, comes off of an ACL injury, and is expected to contribute in our secondary....it doesn't say a whole lot about our DBs, or really puts our lack of depth into perspective. Although he could possibly help on special teams, which is fine by me.

Good to see he's out there working, though.

I think it's great, but I remember how being some being hurt in fall practice took awhile to get back to looking better. I think hunter would be a beast if it wasn't for the missed practices. I think it hurt jj a little bit too, and Brent brewer.

Not true.... Link? He was denied by the NCAA. He wanted to play one year with his brother.

I remember seeing he got a 6th year as well, and he decided to move on from football...

Not guaranteed to get a MRS

 

[Vol Main]

Didn't Naz have ACL surgery this spring? It seems way to early for him to be playing again.

 

[2VolKids]

Another side note: Lincoln doubtful for UGA.

Please coaches: Palardy starts from here on irregardless of Lincoln's health.
