So, he has a medical redshirt still available as well or is that what he used after surgery? I used to have a pretty good handle on the rules, now, not so much.

EVERYBODY.
Nub fans have been commenting constantly on how little the players look
Well to be honest compared to the typical Nub female fan most of our players are small.
Not gonna be able to keep Edwards off the field.

We'll definitely find a way to get Edwards the ball in space.
Light hearted video but pretty good. Nice to see the players having fun.
Kordell Givin them a history lesson.

Aubrey Smith has a #. #32
I thought he was the top recruit we landed in 2022.
The last 5 minutes is hilarious.
Alright, I’m sure this is a dumb question, but what’s the deal with this Kaleb Mathis kid? He’s Coach Mathis’ son I gather but he was one of the first guys to get a jersey number, he’s heavily featured in all the videos coming out of practice but I don’t think we even have a recruiting profile on him. It looks like he was an unrated recruit with a JSU offer. Is he a PWO or on scholarship?
Pretty sure he is PWO
He’s a PWO and he’s tiny, but his routes are pretty impressive for a walk-on. Kid looks like he’s had far more coaching and route instruction than anyone Chev “coached”
The Coach Prime impressions really are hilarious! Jump to 13:45. It's worth your time everyone.
PWO for the football team but the DNVR guys mentioned that he's on an academic scholarship.

Is that legal? I remember it wasn't at some point, but I guess that must have changed.

How would that be against the rules? If someone earns an academic scholarship, why wouldn't they be allowed to walk on to a sports team?
He’s PWO. No rules against it s long as it’s real. If he was a highly recruited kid, can’t do it.
Iirc there was a time when this was considered illegal and used as a workaround scholarship limits
It may be like how it works if someone was granted a track scholarship but wanted to play football as a walk-on. I believe the rule is that someone under a different scholarship can't participate in football during his first year on campus. Something like that. There's definitely a mechanism in place to prevent manipulation of football scholarship rosters.
Any one receiving athletics based aid for any sport in any amount that plays football automatically becomes a headcounter for football. This is the way.
Walk-On's are allowed to have grants and other academic based aid if it is granted through the normal university application process or by outside, independent organizations (the corn used to use community scholarships to get the big farm kids in as walk-ons, but I think the NCAA tightened the rules around that). I am unaware of any full academic scholarships that CU grants. If an instate kid was a Boettcher scholar, and wished to walk-on for football they could. As an employee, Coach Mathis could also designate his tuition assistance benefit to Caleb and of course because he is a dependent of an employee he gets in-state tuition.
