BOULDER — Injured Colorado senior safety Jered Bell plans to petition the NCAA for a rare sixth year of eligibility, CU coach Mike MacIntyre said Monday following a morning practice.
A returning starter, Bell tore an ACL during Friday evening’s practice and is lost for the season. The Californian had already used a redshirt year in 2011 — after tearing the ACL in his other knee during August camp.
“It’s a shame being a guy with so much experinece, good leader,” MacIntyre said. “I think he will come back (in 2015) for his sixth year. I believe that will all go through. He told me he wanted to if the knee heals right and (rehabilitation) goes as it should.”
