Michael Penix Jr participating in senior day festivities

[iubb]

 

Michael Penix Jr., a redshirt junior who technically has two years of eligibility left, is lining up for Senior Day ceremonies. So there's one worth noting.

Hopefully, he doesn't get hurt.

That’s a plus for next year.

That's not remotely funny....but funny just the same.

I kind of wonder if he might just be calling it a career.

Surprising for sure.  Thank you Michael for some IU football memories that will last forever

With the serious injuries he's had, I hope he is.  He's not pro material, unfortunately.  Just too fragile.

That was my thought as well

Good. It's time for him to move on. Really move on from football completely. Kinda like Zander ended up doing.

This doesn’t mean he’s 100% gone, for the record. They can participate and still come back. Call it taking a provisional.

Xander was realistic enough to know that his future didn't lie in football and that his impact on the team as a senior would have been very, very minimal.

It may be best for Mike to focus on finishing his degree and preparing for his career outside of Football.  His is a tragic story (relative of course) for a young promising athlete.  All indications are that he is a good person and a smart guy.  He can score with that.

A decision he and his family need to make.

Agreed. If you can’t stay healthy in college, the chances of you staying healthy in the pros where the physicality is even higher are pretty low.

Anybody have any idea if Mike is on track for his degree?
