I am sure many of you saw it but this week Houston's QB decided to redshirt this year after playing the first 4 games and their team starting 1-3 because he wants to play again next year. (Still uncertain if it will be at Houston.) With the new rule in place I am guessing this might be a trend. It might be an option for someone like McKinley Williams to decide to do the same? As after this week he would have already sat out 5 games of the 8 necessary games.
If Williams comes back for NC State and plays in the next four games against NC State, Pitt, FSU and BC and if we go 1-3 or something close to that and we are 4-5 or something close to that after those games. It might not be a bad idea for him to ask to be shut down for the last 3 games, of what might be considered a "lost season," especially with the hopes we had coming into the year. (Hopefully he would chose to play his last season here.)
It might also be a better option for him to show case his skills for the NFL to play a full 5th year senior season... and give him a chance to play (hopefully here) for something bigger next year.
