Question
If i am gray shirting at a Juco can i still be attending classes taking under twelve credits?
Can I also take part in Fall practice or have a position of being a team manager during this fall of my gray shirt year?

Answer
Bryan, hello!

You can attend classes and take part in the fall practice but your coaches will have to tell you if the rules allow you to be gray shirted as well.  The way I've seen it, you can participate in practices but not the game, if you are enrolling later.  Plus, I'm not certain if JUCO rules allow a gray shirt.  Write to the
www.NCAA.com and their rules will explain.

You can certainly be a Team Manager.

Take care,
