Can a grey shirt sign on national signing day for football?
Someone taking the greyshirt route does not enroll in college
until the spring semester. Therefore, in recruiting, he/she
wouldn't be considered a true recruit for that year and sign a LOI
until the next years signing day. EX: Running back that needs maybe
more than one year to physically develop graduates H.S. in May
2008. Greyshirts, so he doesn't attend college till spring 2009. He
doesn't sign a LOI until Feb. 2009 and may or may not redshirt in
2009-2010 season. He is then considered a freshman, but still has 5
years of eligibility left (4 that he can play). So his eligibility
to play D1 ball doesn't run out until 2013-2014 season rather than
2012-2013.
