or he could grey shirt and count towards the 2021 numbers.


isn't grey shirt really a virtual term. If such a person enrolls in school but has no athletic scholarrship in the year of entrance are they any different than other entering students? There is no binding connection to the team or vice versa. The intent may be there all along to join the team in the spring or fall, but the same might exist for another student , lets say a sprinter who always wondered if he could play football and decides to try to walk on .

A grey shirt is really about delaying the start of your eligibility clock and to do that, he can't be enrolled full time. In the majority of cases, he wouldn't enroll until the spring, but he could pay his way as a part time student. If he did, he couldn't be part of the team in any way. The alternative is pay your way full time and walk on the team, but your eligibility clock starts.
