The funny thing is I think he will finish school this coming spring. That is becoming more common place with football players than when I played football in college. With the advent of being able to take college courses while still in high school or even enrolling in the school early and now almost being forced to stay in school year round for workouts and such. When I played college ball in the early 1990's ('91-94) it was common to take 5-6 years to complete your degree. Also due to no restrictions on field practice time, film study, weight room, etc... Now that they have the 20 hour a week rule (started being enforced my last year in college) it allows players time to take more classes and get that degree a little faster. I remember practicing from 12pm - 9/10pm lots of times when you factor in the weight room, film/position/team meetings and actual on field practice when in college. In the summer we were not required to be on campus or even near school but we were required to show up in shape and that was with the threat of loosing your free ride if you showed up out of shape and when you need that scholarship to keep going to school you work out and study like a fiend non-stop.
