If I'm right, I think you are speaking of the Bobby Leffew suit. Bobby wasn't 20 I believe but 19. What happened, if memory serves, was he had a devestating knee injury right at the start of his Senior Year. Every school interested in him backed off and the family petitioned to allow an extra year of eligibility for him to play so he could earn a scholly. UL rewarded him with one the next year and he started all 4 years at UL as a D Lineman (despite playing high school at LB). :Thumbs:

Correct. If Bobby was 20 he would have not recieved another chance. He got the extra year because he was 19. Like Hatz said all the schools backed off (UK) after his injury during the first game of his Sr. year against Beechwood. This second chance changed this mans life forever and he became, I believe a freshman all-american his first year at Louisville.
