Pine Forest RB Rashaad Lee confirmed Monday night that he plans on taking a grayshirt and delaying his enrollment at Florida Atlantic until next spring.

Having torn his ACL early in his senior season, Lee recently underwent surgery to repair the injury. The grayshirt will allow him further time to rehab his knee while also preserving his eligibility, as he won't be officially a member of the team until next spring when he arrives on campus.

More importantly for FAU, the current verbal commitment won't count against the 2013 recruiting class numbers.

“It allows me to recover before I come down," Lee said in a message.

Lee isn’t sure if he will be signing with the Owls on National Signing Day, but says he should know by sometime next week.

The last player to grayshirt with FAU was quarterback Colton Kane back in 2011.

Hey Andrew, didn't Bullard GS last season?

I stand corrected. I was just thinking of guys who actually enrolled that following spring off the top of my head.

Haven't heard if Bullard or Jarvon Anderson are on campus, but will find out soon.

Well that changes my trivia question answer…Xavier Stinson was the last RB to greyshirt but if Bullard actually showed up then he's the most recent.

Well Kane enrolled then transferred.

Mike Bullard and Jarvon Anderson are suppose to be enrolling this semester… but we will see.

You are correct on Stinson though!
