The article doesn’t get into the details of why he’s not able to play, but regardless, safety Jeremiah Smith was “medically disqualified”. This effectively brought his career as a Yellow Jacket to an end. The article does point out that Smith can remain on medical scholarship, which in a way is confusing to me. Does this mean he can or will play again? Whatever the situation is, hopefully everything works out well for Smith.
Interestingly, the move to place Jeremiah Smith on medical scholarship (which doesn’t count against Tech’s 85-player scholarship limit) meant that Cade Kootsouradis was able to join the team for practice.
