It’s not a foregone conclusion that he’d redshirt.

That said, with his past, I’m not sure he’s not off Ballard’s board entirely as a guy that “doesn’t fit the culture.”

He was a model player at MSU after the high school incident. I don't think that will play as big of a factor as some think it will, because all of his coaches seem to give glowing reviews from a character perspective.

It was before he even left for college. I’m ok with it. All the reports from college were glowing and he was a model player. At a certain point you have to forgive a kid for a mistake.
