This is what they call an early enroll, the kid graduates from H.S. school early and comes in the second half of his senior year. It allows the kid to participate in spring workouts. When the athlete does this they actually sign a little earlier than the loi day. I believe it is an early signing period sometime in Dec. If for some reason the kid leaves school he would lose a year, it is just like coming in as a freshman, he is just doing it a semester early. This has become very common. They still have 4 years plus a redshirt year.
