One simple search reveals:
quote:
If you are a D-1 prospect but need a year of learning, you'll have a choice to "grey shirt." It simply means you take less than 12 credits and work out with the team. Your 5-year clock does not start until you take 12 credits.

It basically postpones a player’s career by keeping him from enrolling in classes for a period of time, usually a year. The player says he wants to be a part of the program and it’s understood that he eventually will be on the team … maybe. If you hear that a guy is a greyshirt, it basically means 1) he’s not that good and usually expendable, 2) he needs time to work on his grades, or 3) the coaching

Not exactly sure BUT Harry Coleman was a grayshirt at LSU .. then red shirt and then playing 4 years (hopefully). Will end up 6 years total on the team.
I know he worked out with the team .. practice itself I'm not sure about. I seem to remember he had academic issues and I think the grayshirt allows him to work with the team while working on academics.
Screw anyone who gives me shite!

Terminology is key here. A grayshirt may "work out" with the team, in terms of training, but is prohibited from taking part in any kind of team practice sessions, either on the field or off the field..
