Jones might need to have a meeting with Miles about a 6'5" 265 lb TE/DE that can also walk on to the basketball team a'la Julius Peppers.

I actually didn't think about that side of it, but that's a great idea as well. Football scholly, basketball walk-on, instead of just football scholly alone.


There's gotta be something in the NCAA rulebook that bars players from doing this.

I will say Bridgewater is very talented, but he's got a center skillset in a 6'4 body. I think he could be a really good player at UNO, SELA, NWST, McNeese level competition where he isn't facing 6'9+ guys all the time.

If you are on athletic scholarship and play football, it has to be a football scholarship by rule.

The bear bryant rule says for any player who is on the football roster and on another sports roster, if he has is an athletic scholarship it must come from football.
