Miami TE Cam McCormick granted ninth year of eligibility

[Swamp Donkey]

Is he as old as Chris Weinke?

Nope

 

[78]

All of our players will need nine years of eligibility to reach Billy's goals.

He caught a pass from Jim Kelly.

Remember Bluto's seven years of college down the drain in Animal House? That was played for laughs.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

He wants to play in the NFL?

Why wouldn't the NFL be interested in a guy with 26 catches in 8 years?

While at Oregon, he earned an undergraduate degree in journalism and master's degree in advertising and brand responsibility

That's better than "sports science" or "gender studies".

Marketing puke.

"I want to say I gave it my best opportunity and best shot," he said.

I understand that. But come on man! After trying to play for the last 8 years, if you ain't played your best then there just isn't a "best" to be played by you... Step aside and let some youngsters take a shot at playing their best...

Maybe they were REALLY GOOD catches.

You have no idea how critical he is on Special Teams.

"Tight End Cam McCormick said Thursday that he would return to play for the Hurricanes in 2024 -- his ninth season of college football.

McCormick, who began his career at Oregon in 2016, missed significant parts of four different seasons due to injury, which along with his redshirt year and the COVID year of 2020 allowed him to petition the NCAA for an unprecedented ninth season of eligibility.


He announced his return on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday with the tagline "the pursuit of excellence has no goal line," calling 2024 his "last ride."

It is rumored that "Da U's" Athletic Department is looking for a donation of a wheel chair for their "Never Say Die" tight end!

Well, he spent 10 years trying to get through 3rd grade so this is actually progress.

Word on the street is that he and his teacher were the only one's in third grade that could vote...

Heck, they may have even be married to each other.
