Cam McCormick TE Miami - 9th year of eligibility

This is absurd. There has probably been 100's of players with his injury issues who didn't get to keep playing like this.

The man is 26. Good grief.

Van Wilder would be proud.

Agreed...at this point...why not let former players come back that dont' stick in NFL.

Like bring back CRod as his NFL days might be done.

This whole notion of what NCAA is doing with transfers and now eligibility is dumb....so many are not a fan of this...so why is NCAA keeping this rule in place?

He's probably slow so I understand that one.

For those who aren’t familiar with McCormick’s history, here’s what he’s been battling through.

• 2016 - Redshirted coming off of ACL tear Senior year of HS
• 2017 - hospitalized with Rhabdomyolysis in offseason but able to play full season
• 2018 - broken leg and torn ankle ligaments in season opener
• 2019 - fractured ankle due to failure of one of the screws from 2018 surgery
• 2020 - ruptured ankle tendons due to screw failure requiring ankle reconstruction
• 2021 - torn Achilles tendon in second game of season
• 2022 - able to play 2nd full season
• 2023 - able to play 3rd full season

So while this is his 9th season in college, it’s really only his 4th full season of competition.

If Miami’s willing to burn a roster spot on him, and he loves the game enough to be willing to keep battling through these setbacks, then good for him. I just don’t see his situation as a big deal.
