2013 is being heavily recruited by a nationally ranked DIII. They have a fall tryout every year for all players - returning, recruited, and walk-on.
Worst case scenario he doesn't make the roster (which is capped by the conference). If he enrolled in a JUCO for the spring 2014 semester, would he be eligible to play - assuming the coaching staff wanted him?
Obviously there's much more to the scenario with this school, but this question is really just kind of related to a possible safety net.
