He has three years of eligibility remaining, thanks in part to the recent NCAA ruling to allow an extra year of eligibility to all college athletes because of the COVID pandemic.

As of a few years ago, scholarship athletes began to receive $ for incidental expenses since they can't work over the offseason. These expenses include travel costs to go home. Najee and Tua had significant $$ for the "go home" expenses. What does it cost to go home to Australia?

So Burnip decommits from Ole Miss and chooses Bama instead. Does that make him a Turnip?
