...Hearing they might RS him. Might as well. Don't really need him right now and he could be an absolute STUD the next two years with some seasoning. This isn't official yet, just a rumbling. He's still eligible though, I'm told.

Do they have to apply for a medical redshirt since he played in the early games?
Or did the rules around redshirts change?
Or did the rules around redshirts change?
Depending on sports, isn't it as long as they haven't competed in 20-30% of the season? The criteria for redshirting seems like they change often and there is some gray areas.
Medical redshirts are clearly ruled. Basically, if he didn't play past the first 3 games, he gets one. The rule is so bastardized as far as whether someone was actually injured or not, it's not even funny.
I wasn't sure exactly how it worked. Could they basically say he had a hangnail and would get one?
Yeah. I think a couple years ago MSU had a guy win scout team POY and he not only got the medical, he got a sixth year.
I guess that is a nice luxury to have if he is not ready to contribute and we somehow -- miraculously given our history -- do not need him this year.
Unless it's a health issue, if he's played he won't get a RS. Even then he has to apply for a medical after his senior year. #fakenews
They are technically different. For example Naz got a medical redshirt, and it was basically automatic since he never used his regular redshirt.
This whole redshirt thing just gets more confusing all the time. I am assuming, since the coaches are talking to CW about doing it, that there is a pretty clear, clean way to make it happen even though he has played a few snaps. It would be great to give him another year to play, as things look to be pretty well under control at this point in terms of DL.
It's very clear in terms of being able to medically redshirt if you have a redshirt available. They are doing the same thing Prohm did with Naz. Try them out, then decide before game 4 (30% mark) and if it's more useful to let them sit, do that. I don't even know that there's much in the way of documentation. I just know I've never seen one denied.
The extra year of eligibility is where things get fishy and decisions don't make sense.
Sounds good. Give him another offseason in the program and hope he becomes that stud pass rusher that really transforms a defense into something special.
The big question is will Jake Campos apply for and receive a medical red-shirt?
That was my thought, too. I think he'll be 27 on senior day. There will be freshman on other teams in awe of a grown man running at them!
Pretty sure there are several guys on BYU that are in their mid 20's because a lot of them go one year and then go on a multi-year mission. Another year is probably in his best interest with his background as a rugby player
