What's the status on Bron Hager? Did he redshirt?? Dodge talks very highly of him.

He was at the SMU/ UNT game on Saturday...

I believe he is presently a "grey"shirt... not associated with the team , and therefore, it does not effect college playing eligibility at all.

He may be waiting for his good buddy Riley to get here this Spring.

Is he enrolled ? If so, hasn't his "clock" started to run ?

According to the NCAA

Red Shirt vs. Grey Shirt:

Red Shirt:

A year of non-participation. You’re enrolled Full-Time, but you’re not competing as an athlete. The 5-year clock for Division I (only) is ticking and using up a year of eligibility.

Grey Shirt:

Non-participation. You enroll Part-Time (less than 12 units) your first semester in college in order to postpone your NCAA Div. I, 5-year clock.

If you feel you are going to require more than two years at the community college because you need substantial remedial work before you transfer, (for example: you placed low in Math and English) then you should consider the possibility of “Gray Shirting” for a year. When you gray shirt you enroll for fewer than 12 units to keep your Division I “5-year clock” from starting. Please discuss this with the Athletics Counselor and coach prior to enrolling.

Grey Shirting can only be done your very first semester at Pierce, you can’t Grey Shirt if you already started your clock by enrolling FT at Pierce or anywhere else.

I thought Pierce was a HS. I joke, I know it Pearce.

According to the FOX broadcasters on the OU game, Bron Hager made a tackle on a kick-off (I think). I heard his name and had to rewind it...wasn't him.

Gray shirts also pay their on way to school and are not allowed to practice with the team. They are not scholarship athletes.

The GREAT Jonas Buckles was a gray shirt at the start of his career.

Yes, he's in one of my classes.

Why did he "grey shirt"?

Why did he "grey shirt"?

Often it is not the athlete's "choice"...

Wish we could get Jonas B and Craig Jones to come back and help our secondary learn to do their job. I remember the Jonas Buckles hit a few years back where (I think) some poor kid from NMSU got plain hammered ... BLAM! The ball popped up into the air, the NMSU player laid on the ground for a few seconds, and Buckles stood up, walked off, and crossed his arms across his own chest to celebrate having "killed" the WR.

The guys that played under DeLoach were something else, huh?

Wish we had Booger Kennedy.
