Jeremiah “Rex” Jordan Injury

[Onlyu]

Looks like we lost Rex to a foot injury (probably Lisfranc) on Sat.  We have Anae, Tufua and Repp, etc. so we’re fine.  If Bernard comes in we can potentially move Pirtle to DE for depth which might be best anyway.

Bums me out…Rex is a kid that was gonna make some plays and become a fan favorite.

Will he be back for fall camp or sometime during the year or is he shut down for the year?

[ironman1315]

From my understanding it won’t be until next year with this kind of injury.

Side note: why is Dana transferring?

Playing time

Thanks for letting us know. Rex had a ton of buzz so too bad. Looking forward to him getting back.

[Stone]

That’s a shame. The guy is built like a tank; I was really excited to see him in action.

[KiYi-Ute]

Damn, that’s a bummer. Lisfranc is a real pain in the ass. I was looking forward to seeing him play.

Heal up quick Rex!

[FtheY]

False. It’s a pain in the foot.

That’s too bad.  Does he have a redshirt available?

From his signing day Bio:

PRIOR TO UTAH: First-team SCFA American Division Mountain League in 2017 … played in 10 games at Mt. San Jacinto College with 45 total tackles (12 TFL, 4.5 sacks) … team captain … competed at Limestone College in 2015, playing in seven games with seven tackles (1.0 TFL) … three-star recruit on 247Sports … played two seasons at Redan HS (Georgia) … defensive team captain as a senior … previously attended Stephenson HS—a performing arts school.

If he played in 2015 and 2017, was that used?

If he has a redshirt available, that would move him to the Sophomore line.  Will miss him this year.

[Stone]

This would be a medical redshirt – which I believe can be taken by any player, regardless of whether they have taken a coaches-decision redshirt.

[kazute]

I understood that wasn’t a given if you had already taken a red-shirt.  Though I don’t know all the details.

 

Medical Red-shirts and the Five-Year Clock

Athletes must keep in mind both the five-year clock and their four seasons of competition. Even if an athlete gets a medical hardship waiver, he or she needs to have time left on their five-year clock (10-semester/15-quarter clock in Divisions II and III) to use that season.

This is problematic for athletes took a normal redshirt season or sat out due to a transfer. An athlete can generally not use a medical redshirt in those cases unless they get a clock extension or sixth year waiver. To do that the athlete show they lost two seasons outside of his or her control. The medical redshirt would be one, but the athlete would still need to show another.

I will let the coaches figure it out, though. 🙂

What is your source?

I think it’s NYDB as the source.

No doubt! @utesequipment needs to research, develop, and engineer a better Under Armour shoe.
