Brandon Walker has qualified for a medical scholarship as a result of a cracked vertebrae...opening up a scholarship spot for next season.

Similar situation as what happened with Bartley Webb... Who would have been a stud imo.

So I assume that means he is done with football?

Not necessarily... I think he can try to play again, if his health allows it...If he can't comeback and play, his scholarship is still guaranteed...But with Tausch taking the job and keeping it...It would make sense that he either transfers or takes advantage of the education afforded to him at ND.

I will follow this more as time goes on, but I assume he is done.

A little background info:

If a player gets, and takes a medical hardship it means they receive their grant, it isn't counted against the team, but the player can not play again, under any circumstances.

Tough break for the kid. Hopefully he'll do whats best for him, which I hope means staying at ND and getting his degree.

What exactly happened to Walker? Did he get hit in a game or in practice?

perfect example of a "40" year decision..............

I didn't even know he was hurt...I just figured he got passed up by Nick. How did he get injured?

he's definatley not transfering. hopefully he still hangs around practice and goes to the games.

Um....Rhema Mcknight? Didn't he get hurt and use a medical red shirt to come back for his final year?

i think a hardship and redshirt are 2 different animals.

I wonder which one applies here? I'm assuming a MRS... It seems like it would be bigger news if it was a career ender.

i dont see any reason that he'd apply for a medical redshirt if he's not playing. it has to be medical hardship if that's the case. medical hardship is what bartley webb had and he was funded for school, but cant play football ever again.

Don't we still have Ryan Burkhart on schollie too?

right now we have 4 FG kickers. Take away Brandon Walker b/c of his injury and Burkhardt for graduation after this yr and you still have Nick Tausch & David Ruffer.

I wouldnt be surprised if ND brought in another walk-on kicker next yr or offered a 2011 kid a schoolie.
