Miami’s Cam McCormick petitioning for ninth year of college football eligibility
During his seven years at Oregon, tight end Cam McCormick, was on the sideline for almost three of them due to injury.
Now at Miami, the 25-year-old filed a petition with the ACC on Tuesday in hopes of receiving a ninth year of eligibility for the 2024 season.
McCormick is currently tied with Northern Illinois’ Kyle Pugh for the longest college football career in FBS history, with a potential ninth season rewriting the college football history books.
“It was accepted in the PAC-12, but for the ACC. I have to re-petition for it,” McCormick told the South Florida SunSentinel. “So that’s in the works right now to see if I’ll be able to get it or not.”
McCormick redshirted his freshman year with the Ducks in 2016, getting in 13 games the following season and earning Pac-12 All-Academic honorable mention.
He was sidelined after breaking his ankle during the first game of his sophomore season in 2018, forcing him to undergo multiple surgeries and lots of rehabilitation — and missing the entire 2019 season, as well.
