Houston asks for sixth year for Keenum
December, 14, 2010 Dec 1412:41PM ETEmail Print Comments By Andrea AdelsonHouston has formally appealed to the NCAA for a sixth year for quarterback Case Keenum, who tore his ACL in the third game of the season and missed the rest of the year.
Generally, the NCAA only grants an extra year of eligibility if a player has lost two seasons because of injury or circumstances under his control. Keenum did redshirt his freshman year, and Houston is going to have to try and prove he did so because he had an injury. As I wrote when Keenum first got hurt against UCLA in September, the NCAA does consider each appeal on a case by case basis. This is a quick list of players I came up with who had their appeals approved and denied.
When Keenum last spoke to reporters in October, he did not give out a timetable for when he would be recovered. If his appeal is denied, he would be eligible for the NFL draft, but it is unclear whether he would be able to work out for scouts or at the NFL combine. Keenum had been regarded as a mid-to-late NFL draft pick before the injury. If he goes into the draft, then his injury could have a big impact on his status.
Backup Cotton Turner, who also sustained a season-ending injury against UCLA, would return and be in the fold to start for Houston.
Though Keenum has been regarded as a system quarterback, he is smart, accurate and poised. If he returns to school, then he would have another year to hone his skills and try to shed the system label that has dogged him the last two seasons. Plus, he would resume his quest to become the NCAA career passing leader.
