Just saw that Amer Lukovic received a medical waiver last year after suffering an injury after only 7 games at Rutgers. He's now starting in the MF as a Grad Student and has 3 assists.

Watched highlights of the Rutgers  game v UCLA. Seems like at this point he must be what, 32?

SC.

He was class of 2021 in h.s. So he's on his sixth season of college soccer. D3 player of the year in 2023 I believe? Still going.

FYI, both Mohamed Toure, Miami, and Cornelius Brown, Alabama A&M, are in their 8th year of college while going for their PhDs obv. 

Then Stetson Bennett at Georgia spent 6 years and did not actually graduate, unlike John Urschel, Penn State and later Ravens OT, spent 3 yrs getting bachelors in math and 2 years more to get his masters with a 4.0 GPA. He redshirted his first year. He went on to MIT to actually get a PhD in math.
