I still question how effective Herian will really be. There's a possibility he may never play again. I really feel that way. If he does will he be tentative, shy away from contact?????
I think mueller is 6-5...still a great size target as herian is also 6-5
he will be listed as a senior, but will still have 2 years of elegibility left since he never redshirted
Herian burned his redshirt this season. He will be a 5th year senior next year. I look for Mueller to be used as the other TE still in 2 TE sets, since he was the best blocking tight end that we have(unless Tomerlin turns out to be a great blocker). Like ETR said, who knows how effective Herian will be. Who knows how effective Tomerlin will be? From what I recall, he hasn't played tight end in a game for almost 5 years(although he was practicing with the TE's this season). I would like to see what Pierre Allen can do, but he may be a candidate for a redshirt to learn the offense and get in a groove working with Watson.
Actually IIRC, Herian was granted a medical redshirt waiver this year meaning it count a little different toward his eligibility (similiar to Jason White who was at OU for 6 years). Medical redshirts are different then the regular redshirts. NCAA rules state you are allowed 4 years of playing time, 1 year of redshirt and 1 more extra year with a medical waiver as long as it fits certain guidelines (don't recall them off the top of my head) to be exempt from a regular redshirt. So in reality, Herian would have 2 more years but only 1 of them is eligible for playing time, which means if he sat out this seaosn, he could return next season. I doubt that happens because Herian graduates in May, so it would be stupid to hang around for almost a year and a half after graduating.
