Clearing him the Monday after the SEC Championship game is not fair to the kid IF he did nothing wrong.
Since he's a senior and has been unable to play for most of the season does he get another year of eligibility?
Not if he played in more than 4 games, unless the petition for a hardship or something like that.
I’m not 100% certain, but according to the ESPN site he played at Miami during the ‘22 and ‘23 seasons and UGA in ‘24. If that’s correct then he would be eligible to play for the Dawgs in ‘25 and It doesn’t appear he has been redshirted. I’m curious if he has exhausted his eligibility if he could petition the NCAA for a hardship like players who have been injured after a few games have been able to do. I personally thought he was a “one and done” and would declare for the draft, but now things have changed drastically so I guess we will have to stay tuned. Go Dawgs and good luck Colbie!!!
