Every once in a while, a college football player has the opportunity to stay in school longer than the four allotted years. One veteran player, though, keeps finding ways to return to school.
Oregon tight end Cam McCormick, who was a freshman in 2016, has the option to return again to Eugene in 2023, as the NCAA has granted him a ninth year of eligibility.
“I’ve thought about it; it’s a tough decision,” McCormick said about possibly returning, via James Crepea of The Oregonian. “I’m not totally keen on what my decision is going to be yet. I’m going to continue to enjoy this game with my teammates and make the decision after the game...I couldn’t imagine doing nine. If anything, I applied for it just to have it after Ohio State last year. I tore my Achilles and thankfully was able to get it. The option’s there, I do have it. Whether I use it, it’s in the air. Thinking about returning for a year eight.”
