OTF Premium Update on OL Andre Cojoe (Friday 10:35 a.m.)

[CJ Vogel]

A quick update on the recovery process for offensive lineman Andre Cojoe.

The 6-foot-6, 335-pound offensive lineman began running for the first time earlier in the week.

Obviously, it was a great sign to see Cojoe with his helmet in hand during bowl practices, but obviously his athletic participation only extended to off-field stretching. Now, he is beginning to inch back towards extended running and conditioning.

Cojoe tore his ACL back in fall camp in August. The update I posted last week mentioned he is about four months and change removed since the injury.

I don't believe Cojoe will be a full participant in the spring, but this is very much a positive to get him back for the summer conditioning months.

We might need him. HookEm and rehab well.

That’s a great update. If he can be truly good to go by the season, it would do wonders for the OL depth chart.

He was pushing for the starting RT position before the ACL injury.

Lateral movement will be the biggest hurdle coming off an ACL especially with him being a tackle. Hopefully he can recover well enough to be a solid rotational piece behind Siani

Getting him going this year for a full go in 2027.

Would need a waiver for 2027

he'd get an injury waiver for 2025 though.  NCAA is handing out eligibility like hot cakes...EXCEPT TO OU...which is stupid but hilarious

He's a 2023 recruit. He's redshirted and possibly has a medical exception on top of that. Even with just the redshirt, he'd be fine to play 2027 as a RsSr.

For example, Conner Robertson and Neto Umeozulu are both playing this year as RSSr. Both from the 2022 cycle.

I'm not thinking so.  5 years to play 4, right?  Am I missing something?

I found it and copied it from someone on here. Don’t remember who. It’s great. 
 

God bless and have a good day.

Can he not obtain a medical waiver for 2025??

[drag worm]

Much needed depth if he can get back even by conference play this season.
