| Your question is slightly outside my area of expertise and is not addressed in the NCAA materials. Grayshirt is another new term by the media and is applied to the prospect that signs a letter of intent in February, but doesn't report in the fall with his teammates. He delays entry to college until midyear The reference materials I have: refer to the "Gray Shirt athlete" enrolling in the school following the gray shirt season- but I suspect there may be cases where an athlete can begin his studies at the school - since the goal of the student athlete is to get an education and graduate on time. | |

| Grayshirt is another new term and is applied to the prospect that signs a letter of intent in February, but doesn't report in the fall with his teammates. He delays entry to college until midyear, i.e. January. That NCAA five-year clock doesn't start ticking until the player enrolls as a full time student, so gray-shirting is really a delayed version of red-shirting. For Example, Texas Tech, signed 34 players in February 2006, but NCAA rules prevent them from enrolling more than 25 to start the fall. Some of those nine other players gray-shirted during the 2006 fall season. They cannot enroll in college as full time students, can’t receive their scholarship, nor practice. It is like getting an extra year of practice, because most of these players don’t see the game field until two years later and they have the advantage of going through an extra spring practice | |
