I wasn't able to pick up who was at MLB other than DeRider. Wondering who backs up DeRider if Pelluer is injured? Would Dotson move over or with the depth on the outside maybe Luvu move back?
Pelluer/DeRider - MLB depth
- Thread starter SaveFerris
- Start date
i think dotson did move over. the announcers mentioned it at some point (though they're morons so grain of salt i guess).
Some Facebook chatter from "cousins" of his say it's his ankle, but they did not elaborate on how bad the injury is....
If true...what a shame. Don't recall the play where he hobbled off...but I fast-forwarded the game breaks on my DVR and may have missed it.
I don't think he qualifies because he's already used his redshirt year. The rule on "medical redshirts" states that a player can apply their redshirt to a season if they were injured prior to playing in 30% of their games. That would apply here.
However, Pelleur would also have to be granted a 6th year of eligibility and the rules on that are different. "This waiver may be granted, based upon objective evidence, for reasons that are beyond the control of the student-athlete or the institution, which deprive the student-athlete of the opportunity to participate for more than one season in his or her sport within the five-year period."
So, he would have had to have missed more than 1 year due to injury to be granted a 6th year of eligibility.
be dumb not to at least apply. or petition. or whatever it is you do w/ the ncaa.
The press doesn't think what? That he could apply for a medical hardship? You'd think if that were an option Loh, or someone would have brought it up.
Brand X went as far as to report his career was over in their headline. Like them or hate them, they're usually pretty accurate when it comes to the rule book.
Agree with Fab that the chances are infinitesimal. And even if he had another year of eligibility, would he take it? Peyton has done well academically and may be ready to pursue post-academic life.
Peyton Pelluer could be in the NFL next season if the NCAA chooses not to grant the 6th year.
His resume is pretty darn good: 34 career starts + Honorable-Mention All-Pac-12 in 2016 + whatever awards he would've collected in 2017.
Just needs to get back healthy again.
Best of luck to a terrific Coug.

He could get a medical. I've seen players in basically the same scenario get it. He may not want another year though, who knows. I agree would love to have him back.
I'm not sure he's got the wheels. He might stick somewhere as a middle linebacker, he can tackle and he's gotten significantly better at diagnosing plays with all that experience, but will he be able to cover enough ground to not be a liability at that level? I actually suspect that Isaac Dotson might have a better shot at sticking on a roster if he can stay healthy, but after his injury history nobody would draft him above round 5 even if he ended up all conference and wowed at the combine. He'd be a solid kick cover guy and he has enough size and speed to play at that level, and he's been exposed to so many different positions that he's got a pretty good football IQ.
He's already redshirted, so he can't get a medical redshirt. He could apply to get a 6th year waiver, but he hasn't missed two years due to injury, so he's not eligible.

You've seen guys who missed 3/4 of one season get granted a 6th year of eligibility by the NCAA? Like who?
Yesterday, Peyton tweeted the following yesterday:
"Thank you brother. Blessed to play my last snaps with you !! Love ya uce !!"
Why is this thread even a thing? Barring a major surprise, he isn't going to be back.

No, he can't.
He can't use a medical redshirt because he already redshirted.
He doesn't qualify for a 6th year, because he won't miss more than 1 season.
Was I supposed to know your post was sarcasm somehow? I think it only qualifies as a "whoosh" if it's obvious.
the fact that "6th year/ medical" had been posted about 10 times already, and shot down 10 times already... eh, nvm.
Sorry, I didn't go back and read every post in the thread prior to replying to yours.
