Battle has been reclassified as a redshirt junior; this was supposed to be his senior year. Battle played in only one game — Game 2 against Sam Houston State — in 2014. He received a medical hardship for that season, the school confirmed. A player can receive a redshirt for medical reasons if he was injured in the first half of the season and only participated in one-third of his team's games.
