Given Lynott's position I am not worried about him being the same, he doesn't have to be highly explosive just really strong...and he can be really strong again. The year time frame to be back to normal is correct, but that doesn't account for him getting his strength back....which is my way of saying, I would be very surprised if he was back and playing next year. Hope that means he gets a medical redshirt next year and then comes back to play two....wait is that even possible since he had a traditional redshirt?
It's better not to make predictions on recovery time from injuries and whether the injury will have long-term impact on a player.
fwiw, patients who have achilles tendon surgery usually return to full activity in 6 months. That's an average. So probably 4 months for some, 9 months for others. Helps that he's young and pretty much at peak age for his body producing growth hormones. Makes it harder that he weighs 300 pounds and his sport requires him leveraging or delivering/absorbing violent contact against other 300 pound men who can squat twice their body weight.

Yeah the youth part is a big deal.

When I tore mine I was back jogging in 6 months and full running about 10 months and I did not have the access or dedication to rehab he will have. I would think he will be close to ready by fall camp and full go by conference play..
But as been said, to each their own time line.

Texas RB turned TE under Herman plans to transfer. No idea if there's any mutual interest, but he's transferring because he wants to play RB... Buffs could use one, even if it wouldn't be until 2019.

A medical redshirt is only possible if a player loses 2 seasons to injury. Lynott played enough in 17 so that year is not a lost year. So no.
