The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article about Miami’s TE who is in his NINTH year of college football

“Here’s a summary of what McCormick’s gone through, from his arrival in Eugene in 2016 (the same recruiting class as his former fellow Duck, Justin Herbert, who’s now in his fifth year starring in the NFL):

McCormick redshirted his freshman year, still recovering from an ACL injury he suffered in high school. He played in 2017, but then broke his left fibula and tore ankle ligaments in 2018. That—and complications from an anchor and screws in his ankle, he says—led to missing both 2019 and 2020. McCormick came back in 2021—only to tear his right Achilles versus Ohio State.

Improbably, he returned to play a full Ducks season in 2022—then transferred and played for Miami in 2023.

Now, in accordance with NCAA eligibility rules, the 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, McCormick is at last in his college football swan song.”
