He is extremely strong and wouldn't doubt he is 225 or over

I wasn't even sure if he had another year of eligibility?

He should be a poster boy for medical hardship.

Leriebus down to 312..mckinnon up to 230..great off season program for sure
I will not make age an issue in this campaign. I'm not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.

Why would you say that?.....he only has used one medical hardship. He only played three years at Syracuse and graduated early and had 1 year of eligibility left and chose SMU to get his graduate degree and play one more year. He blew his knee out and applied for medical redshirt one time and it was granted. He is a good student and should be a poster child for SMU student athletes!
The poster child for medical hardship should be the U of Houston QB Case Keenum. 6 friggin years and still can play?

I meant this in a positive way. So many people think that someone who sprains an ankle in the 7th game of the year in their freasman year should apply for medical hardship when they are not eligible.

Sorry if I came across wrong. I certainly meant this was a picture perfect case of when it should be applied.

McKinnon had 4.5 Speed and if he can keep that with 230lb, he would be a fast LB.

Should be great for passing downs. Can cover or rush the passer.

Question about his speed would be the leg injury. It was pretty bad if I recall.
