Lamar, Coleman await sixth-year ruling

[BRI Staff]

Lamar is continuing to petition the NCAA to give linebacker Jacody Coleman a sixth year of eligibility, interim athletic director Jason Henderson said Wednesday.

 

College athletes typically have five years to complete four seasons. But the NCAA has an exception if an athlete misses two seasons because of injury or other extenuating circumstances.

 

Coleman missed most of last season after he suffered a dislocated ankle in the team's fourth game, Oct. 1 at Southeastern Louisiana.

Would be great to get Coleman back next season.

If Coleman came back and we gained another DT through FBS transfers we would have a much better defense than the past two years have shown.

i think its freaking stupid that the NCAA has waited this long. There's no way they dont have an answer yet with spring drills fast approaching. CardAmb i think the new DC will go a long way in improving that group with or without Coleman in the lineup.
