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.
quote:
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!
