Well that should bring some toughness to the team.

Definitely, more leadership qualities as well. He's my first dude off the bus without a doubt, and running out of the tunnel with Old Glory.

According to some posts on Twitter, Jackson is a former SEAL. Don't know if that's true or not but the dude looks fit enough to be running ops in the mountains of Afghanistan.

That's awesome if true! So is it probably safe to assume he's older than the typical 18-19 year old freshman? He definitely looks much older. I'd guess mid to early 20s?

I would say mid. Seals are generally in 6 years not 4.

I think the way the "Eligibility clock" works now is that one year after your high school class graduates your clock starts for all sports except hockey and tennis. Not sure what that would mean if you got a GED.

EDIT: Found the following:

But a less-heralded addendum to the resolution was an alteration to the so-called delayed eligibility rule, which stipulates that an athlete has one year after graduating high school to enroll in college. After that grace period, the athlete must cease competing in a sport to preserve eligibility. Previously, the N.C.A.A.’s eligibility clock began at age 21. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/20/s...res-marines-eligibility-to-play-football.html"

Competition counts as any organized league, and it appears to be any sport. Military leagues DO NOT COUNT towards this type of competition.

not true. SC just a few years ago had a 39 year old former military guy. http://mentalfloss.com/article/28721/4-old-men-who-played-college-football

Yeah, but the rules changed after Brandon Wheedon. I posted an edit.

From what you posted. As long as the person does not participate in sports his clock does not start.

After that grace period, the athlete must cease competing in a sport to preserve eligibility.
