Louisville asks South Carolina RB to grayshirt at a tough time

With 48 hours to go until being able to submit his National Letter of Intent to Louisville, South Carolina running back Matt Colburn was asked to put his Louisville plans on hold until next January. Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino pulled a scholarship offer to Colburn that had been verbally accepted for the past eight months with the request he enroll next January and grayshirt for the Cardinals.

“They want him to [grayshirt], which is him coming in next January,” Colburn’s high school coach Tom Knotts said to The State. “Matt has been committed to them almost eight months. We’re all very upset about it.”

So close to signing day, the search for a new football home is going to plaid right now for Colburn, but the options this late in the recruiting game are limited at best.

“Right now, we’re being proactive in trying to reach out to other schools but he really shut himself off from all the other schools relative to his recruitment,” Knotts explained. “We have to get his name back out there. We’re not happy about it. We’ll see what else might pop up.”

This sort of thing happens every season, so Louisville is far from the first or last school to use this method of recruiting and roster management. To do so this close to National Signing Day may come off a little odd though, and there is no question it is unfortunate for the recruit.

I'm assuming Colburn turned down Harbaugh's offer... I mean Harbaugh offered almost every committed running back out there, didn't he?
