He doubled up some classes? 
why is it that far fetched?

He is a junior by classification only. Took summer school and enrolled early and also redshirted. Maybe even came to college with college credit hours. Don't know. Point it, it doesn't matter. He has 3 years to play if he wants.

Nut squeezing keeps him young.

Summer School. Most athletes take 12 hours over the summer.

It's not really, but it just sounded a little off to me.

AP courses taken in HS = college credit. Maybe JFF was enrolled in AP courses while in HS.

I'm sure 2 summers = 24 hours which is almost 2 full semesters of classes.

That is because most only take 9 in the fall semester so they use the summer hours to stay "full-time" or use the summer hours to make up for classes they fail in the fall/spring.
Athletes go year round so they can stay on campus and participate in "voluntary" conditioning events in the summer, really all athletes should graduate "early" if they take 12 hours each semester when combined with summer classes (8-16 hours), especially if they take a red-shirt year. You should see more leave with masters degrees as well, but you don't.

I wish he would doing something other than the superman move. He is good enough to have his own move.

I wonder if he stays 4 years, if he's still great in 2 which he realistically could be of course, and has his degree, there's not much left to do in college. He could get a masters etc of course or just love college, which i respect, but the NFL seems likely if he has a degree by then

Depends, Kansas had a QB a few years ago that earned a MBA (IIRC) before he was done on the field and didn't even put his name in the draft, it was the year they went to the Orange Bowl, I'm sure Mizzou fans know his name.
It would depend on how he grades out for the NFL, and his development before then as he would need to improve as a pocket passer to have the best shot at a long term NFL career and they will knock him because of his size.

AP classes/summer classes.
My daughter was a junior when she started her third semester of school. Pretty common, I'd think.

Bernie Kozar, QB from Miami got his degree his sophomore year. Completed his college career working on his masters.

He also enrolled early. He finished HS in three and a half years and enrolled at A&M in January of his senior year in high school, to get spring ball in. So, while he is only a freshmen in terms of eligibility, he has been on the A&M campus for 4 semesters now. Add in summer school, and he is a Junior academically.

I was a sophomore before I stepped on campus just because most of the classes I had in high school my junior and senior year gave me college credits.

He was an early enrollee who redshirted... if he took classes in the summer, that's two semesters under his belt before most entering freshman have taken a class...
this isn't that difficult to understand.
