Artis will be here next yr, a 5th yr for him.
Been some chatter lately about recruiting and whether Fed could *nudge* more career-backup players out the door rather than keep them on scholly their full 4 or 5 yrs. You'd do this to free up a scholarship for a recruit, in hopes that the recruit is a diamond-in-the-rough and better eventually than what the backup guy can give you immediately.
He's a guy that I might let go. Went from safety to linebacker, back to safety. He seems like a solid special-teamer, but unless he's a better outside linebacker than Gemmel/Ross/Malik Robinson, i'd be tempted to trade him for a frosh recruit at a future position of need (linebacker/dt).
