Crick just missed the eligibility for a medical redshirt. To be eligible for a medical redshirt, one must appear in less than 30% of the team's competition, with none of said games coming after the midway point of the season. Crick played in 5 games this season, so if we were to make it to the conference championship game this year, we will have played in 14 games. That puts him at ~35%.
Bummer for Crick. Hopefully somebody else steps up....time for all the depth we've been hearing about to come through for us.
