Arkansas signs a 29 year old

To play football. Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, it is good that he is chasing his dream, but on the other he is a fully grown, mature man in his prime playing kids out of high school. What do you think?

I knew he was older, I didn’t think he would be in thirties though. I guess they both play offense and it might be different if they were on defense.

The age and maturity level are an advantage. Athletically though, he's been playing baseball: not football. I'd give the advantage to the guys who have been playing football for the past 10 years and are only 20 years old versus a guy 29 playing baseball the past 10 years.
I'm all for him being allowed to do it though. If you've never played football professionally and decide to go back to college later in life, you should be able to get the full experience of college athletics.

I don't agree with it but I have no vote. Military service is my exception not playing another professional sport. He had that choice in 2014 and passed on it. Move on and stop chasing a NIL deal.

It's just another example of college football losing its way.

This board praised Daniel Rodriguez for his service to this country and lauded him like some sort of trophy.
The hypocrisy is strong with the people knocking Arkansas for doing the same

His teammates will probably call him "Gramps."
