He's a senior.

Redshirted in 2008, played in 09/10, then sat out last year for transferring.

The question is....does he have another year of eligibility? He red shirted, and sat out a year so if he attends Graduate school at SMU, he may have another year of playing left over.

He would have needed to enroll in an SMU grad program immediately upon transferring to get that extra year

Redshirted in 2008, then played at Virginia Tech 2009, 2010, and sat out 2011 in order to transfer, which has to count as a year of eligibility. So he is a Senior.

Just asking...if he still has a year of eligibility and maybe Virginia Tech doesn't offer the graduate level courses and SMU does....why can't he apply for the year to play?

You have to enroll in the grad program immediately upon transferring. That is why Gilbert took 27 hours at Texas instead of coming to SMU for spring practice - he needed to enroll in a grad program at SMU to get that extra year

The other question is why it took 10 games for him to get some playing time.
