Meanwhile, UM OL Hunter Knighton posts on Facebook that he is "cleared for everything" and will be returning to camp this August.

Knighton: "So close to becoming the first d1 player to return from a catastrophic heat stroke. All thanks to God for building my faith ..."

congrats...looks like having another ol commit.

Heard he was making waves before the situation. More depth the better at ol....
 
Congrats to the young man. We can use another Olineman with abilities. Hopefully he's strong enough and put on weight to be able to compete.

How many years of eligibility will he have?

Pretty sure he's a rs Soph ,but you'd think he'd definitely get a sixth year medical hardship.

I think the criteria for the medical hardship waiver includes losing TWO seasons due to documented injury. I remember a Miami player recently lost one season due to injury and said he could get the six year if he can find documentation for the injury he had during his redshirt year.
 
Here are the requirements


  • The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.
  • The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.
  • The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season.
  • The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.

Paranos, that's the standard for a normal medical redshirt not a 6th year. Quit spreading misinformation please, dear friend. It reduces the collective success of the community.
 
You just schooled me franchise, I also did not realize there was a difference. Good luck to the young man. Play hard and stay healthy.

I think Franchise is right. That sounds like the requirements to get a fifth year, not a sixth.

What I listed is the requirement for a medical redshirt. Hunter will not get a 6th year because he only missed one season which wasn't in his control. He could have competed his freshman season. NCAA gives you 5 years to to do 4 years of competition. At the end of 5 years Hunter could come competed 4. If Hunter gets hurt in the first 30% of competition this year or any other year he can get a 6th year. At the end of the day the best Hunter can do is play in 3 full seasons and less than 30% of another if he gets hurt again. If Hunter doesn't get Hurt the most he can play in his 3 full seasons. Under no circumstances that I know of will Hunter be able to compete in 4 full seasons.
 
This is correct, I forgot about how the sixth year medical worked
