As I said, he opted out because of the weight loss as he probably couldn't hack it after losing it.

Not being snarky, but I find it amazing how nobody remembers this; it was mentioned CONSTANTLY on the boards and on Twitter and people were expecting him to indeed redshirt.

It was once he had the 2 good PS games, when people started to perk up and want him to play, but going into the season, it was NEVER the expectation that he would play in 2021.

That reads as if he had Covid (actually nothing said he had Covid, just quarantined)  prior to the opening game of 2020. A game in which he was taken off the field with injury and never returned.

The kid has always been "light' and I'm well aware of his "weight goals" set by the club; but am unfamiliar with a proposed "Covid Red Shirt". 

WTS, I want the kid to succeed; I just don't see it being at RG; I see swing Tackle.
