Yes, it happens a lot for guys who complete their degrees and still have a year of eligibility remaining.  They enroll in graduate courses.

As stated above, yep. There's talk of them (NCAA) tweaking the eligibility rule though, because (big surprise) it's allegedly being abused. Something about Texas Tech's recent run triggered them, IIRC.

For a prominent example, Russell Wilson played at Wisconsin as a grad student.

I seriously doubt 2 of the 3 between QBs between Walker, Grier and Stevens are on the roster come September.  I'm more partial to Walker, personally. Chalk Grier up as a loss and move on.  It's on Marty Hurney that we are likely to flush a former 3rd round pick, but it's pointless to keep him based on draft position if the team thinks he doesn't have what it takes.

That’s partly why I’m asking. Was hoping someone would enlighten me.

Now it seems we're bringing in another quarterback as well.

Eighth year of eligibility?

The 8th year was because of the pandemic, otherwise his eligibility would have been up.  He opted to forego it anyway.

His parents must be crushed by this news.  One more year at university and Kevin Thomson could have completed his doctorate degree in Footballology.

Bottom line:  Stay in school kids.

Our buddy Ellis with a little more detail...

I like PJ Walker. He just needs more coaching on his decision making. He showed lots of potential. Grier on the other hand has shown nothing.

8th year of eligibility? 

Why not?  Sitting on the bench and watching football pays more than social security, where you sit on the couch and watch football.
