Also, I missed this earlier - Long Snapper Scott Meyer who went on Schollarship last fall is not mentioned? was his just a one year deal or for duration?

Anyway, I would agree that having two long snappers on Schollarship seems to be excessive. (he played in one game this past season and I think for just one snap? thought the scholly was mostly a payback for the load he shouldered in the 2017 season when Fletcher was finding his way as a true freshman)

Meyer's scholarship was probably for one year. Bama gave two walkons scholarships in late August, which met the 85 limit for the fall term.

Walk-ons Scott Meyer (LS) and DJ Lewis (CB) awarded scholarships

The NCAA midyear replacement rule that allows for counting early enrollees against unused spots from the prior recruiting cycle requires a full 85 on scholarship for that academic year.

Meyer is in his 3rd year of school. If he enrolled early and/or has been taking summer courses, he may be on track to graduate before fall.
