I think Miles said they would petition for a medical redshirt. If it is not granted he said he might be able to go in postseason play.

at first 6 weeks......he broke his ankle, so I knew it was much longer.

with it being the first play of the first game, they could petition. HOWEVER, I believe he used his redshirt year, so moot point.

I just posted this in the Slammin' Sammy thread and it also aplies here. He can't get a mediical redshirt:

quote:

He can't get a medical redshirt bc he already has a redshirt. The other option is to get a waiver of the 5 year rule. This would happen at the end of his collegiate eligibility, not now. Also, this is generally only issued if they have missed 2+ years due to injury (ie. Pittman) so Sam would not be a good candidate unless he were to miss another year due to injury or something

If this is true, then how do players get a 6th year?? Example: Kirston Pittman, Charles Alexander

So in your definition did Loston get a medical redshirt last season?

Yes, but Loston didn't redshirt the year before.

Basically, you can't redshirt twice (for whatever reason) unless those two years missed were due to injury and then you have to petition to be granted eligibility to play another year.

You CAN get a redshirt for two years. I don't know the special circumstances that are required for the second redshirt(alway medical) to be granted but we had a lineman get his sixth year of eligibility just last year. Anderson??? shite what was his name?

Loston was a true frosh who didn't have a prior redshirt

I was just offering what I know. What I posted is true. It isn't the whole story as I stated.

Extended eligibility is what got those guys a 6th year. If Montgomery can't play next year the won't go back at the end of his eligibility and say "we'll give him a med redshirt for his sophomore year". They just waive the five year rule and grant extended eligibility
