Drake Johnson Gets 6th Year
Per Sam Webb on Twitter, Johnson has received a 6th year of eligability for football as well as track. I believe that Harbaugh has said that Johnson will not be back, but my reading of the quote is that he sort of qualified it by saying he didn't think he'd get the year. Is there a scholarship available?
We have 84 scholarships used up for 2017, so there is indeed (at least) one spot available.
Might they want that for a 2018 early enrollee, or am I misunderstanding the rule?
Drake has has looked great when healthy, and has be so so unlucky. Seems like a great young man.
Drake will be one of the most important players on the team, along with McCray, Hill, Poggi, Cole and Mone. These senior players have all fought adversity, from injuries to position changes, and have succeeded. We will have plenty of young talent, but these guys are battle-tested warriors who can provide the necessary leadership successful teams need on and off the field.
