Odin Coe
I noted OC on the preseason list as an honorable mention All-American. I recall he left to join the Navy and become a Seal. Anyone heard from or about him? He is a good guy. For the record...you don't "join" the Seals: you apply, are run through an unimaginable endurance program that makes college football look like a quilting bee. IF you are one of the few who make it through that, you are not automaically in. You must then be selected. I wish him the best!

Re: Odin Coe
This is where things get murky for me. He redshirted and graduated in 4 years, sooooo does he still have one year of eligibility left?Hawks86 wrote:He graduated in May, so his journey is just beginning.

Re: Odin Coe
If he wants to play, he would have to take either graduate school or start working on another degree. For example, Jake Bleskin graduated but he will take some graduate courses to play next year. If I'm wrong, someone should correct me.Mr Lisle wrote:This is where things get murky for me.

You are correct, but with one caveat:VimSince03 wrote:If he wants to play, he would have to take either graduate school or start working on another degree.

The eligibility rules used to be basically you have 5 years to play 4 once you enroll in school. The two major exceptions that can suspend that 5 year clock are:
1. Military service
2. Religious service
I think those rules are still the same. If so, that means Coe could still have 1 year eligibility left once he is done with his military service. And because he graduated, he could play anywhere without transfer restrictions.
From what I've read, he has no intention of playing another year.
But, that could be a scary thought -- Odin Coe, military vetran, Navy SEAL, 28 years old, decides to play college football one more year, just for the hell of it!

No $hit. That would make a few knees weak, I'm sure!
