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.

Its 8:55 pm

Err pass rusher at the end of his career. Houston might have more in the tank. It is not like 33 is the cut off point for pass rushers. Age catches up to guys at different points.

I think it’s pretty low risk, he will get spot duty and should be effective. Might even show the young guys a few moves.

And maybe Mathis can show him a few moves.

He just turned 30 too. Not like he is turning 31 to start the season. I'm betting dude has plenty!
