Eligibility Question for Hendon Hooker

[volmandu]

Hendon took redshirt in 2018
Played 2019 & 2020 at VT .. 2020 was a free year
2021 & 2022 at Tennessee
So in theory he has one year left to play if he wants to come back. Is that correct ? I assumed this was his last year.

He played in 3 games in 18, so no RS year was taken. That was before the 4 game deal was allowed.

I would love to have HH come back, even if he had that next year, but that man has earned his paycheck, go get it young man.

Joe's got this.

I think HH is just ready to get that auto insurance discount coming soon

I thought the rule was approved prior to the 2018 season. I looked it up & it was approved in June of 2018

This is his last year of eligibility

This is his last year but even if he could come back he's probably gone. He's already one of the oldest QBs in the country, he's probably ready to go to the draft

You're right but looks like he redshirted in 2017. Hendon Hooker - Football - University of Tennessee Athletics

Also Hendon Hooker - Football - Virginia Tech Athletics

If he's sitting in the front row of the Heisman Trophy presentation, he's gone, despite your misguided thought of him having more eligibility.

So he could take a red shirt next year: play in just our four biggest games.

I'm not fired up about Milton. I thought his play looked uninspired. Hopefully, Nico has the goods.

Probably had something to do with all the backups playing with him.

Lol. "Clemens-shirting."

Hooker is turning himself into a first round draft pick. He has earned it.

Someone's got this.

 

[itfeelslike98]

Hes not coming back. Hes a first round pick at latest a second round pick, hes worked for it!

No he is a 6th year senior. For perspective, he was recruited the same year (2017) as Jake Fromm. He was redshirted that year.

Nico will redshirt. He's 6'6 and 195 pounds soaking wet. Needs to add some muscle and learn the system.
