I have a heavy senior class this year(6). The season has not started and I redshirted a senior. He had already maxed out all individual ratings so don't mind the work ethic taking a plunge. He has sent an email advising he is not happy with the decision. I am in DII so no chance he will go pro. What are the chances he will stay around for a 5th year and help keep me competitive the next year? If he will likely leave I still have a chance to rescind the redshirt and play him this year.

can players quit over a redshirt at all, if you are not in violation of a promise? i kind of didn't think so, i am thinking your odds are 100%. but i really would like someone else to back that up before you take that answer! i would say i am only 80% or so on it working that way.

I've never done it, but this question comes up in the forums every once in a while. I'm pretty sure every time it does a few people pop up and say they are positive he won't leave. The only negative is the work ethic drop.

Thank you! I appreciate the help!

I've done it. He will return 100%

I've done it as well. I second what dacj said

Yep.

Yep I did it last year and it worked perfect. Guy came back and now he's my starter while balancing out my classes. Work ethic drops, but that's it.

Be sure he has the GPA! I think it is minimum 2.7.

Only for ineligibles, and the GPA requirement is only for D1.
