One has to question where Bauman is in regard to medical status.

Just one more to go for scholarships.

Does this mean that the both are not available for the the 2024 season, but in theory, could play for the Irish in a future season?

They could play for another team, but being put on medical means the school believes you are unfit to play football for whatever reason and can no longer play for that team. There was a TE a couple years ago that was put on medical by ND, then transferred to a school like BC I think and was able to pass their physical.

They cannot use it as an Injured Reserve List essentially.

Joey Tanona is a more recent example. Originally thought his career was over due to auto accident (not his fault BTW) but has recovered and will play for Purdue this season.

That is who I was thinking of! Thank you.

It also allows these guys to stay on scholarship while they finish up their degrees.
