Maybe he can apply to the NCAA for an additional year (he is a senior) but it is doubtful that he will get it since he started in every game this year.

When he turned down A&M, Ok State and Baylor to play for us, I knew he was going to be a hell of a player.
GREAT NEWS! Thank you for the update Cougar King.

Man, that's great to hear. Hard to believe he's already moving around. Modern medicine is incredible sometimes.
