Stanford senior ILB Shayne Skov has been granted an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA after missing a large portion of the 2011 season.
This is likely the main reason Skov had not been mentioned among postseason all star games. A major knee injury caused Skov to miss all but three games during his junior season, and that injury seemed to carry over into this year, as the senior looked sluggish at times. Still, Skov had a good showing against Notre Dame and could rejuvenate his evaluation with a solid 2013 season. Jan 7 - 9:00 AM

Stanford senior ILB Shayne Skov hopes to be granted an extra year of eligibility after sitting out a large portion of the 2011 season with a knee injury.

Skov took some time to round back into form, but finished the 2012 regular season on a high note. Still, teams will need to get by his medicals and off field issues that resulted in a suspension. Skov's search for an extra year of eligibility may be telling of where his current evaluation is from NFL teams. According to SI's Tony Pauline, "insiders said Skov looked like he was playing with a "dead leg" at times this year."

Shayne Skov - LB - Cardinal

According to SI's Tony Pauline, many NFL scouts believe a second-round selection of Stanford senior ILB Shayne Skov "could be better value" than Notre Dame senior ILB Manti Te'o in the top-12 picks.

After a knee injury in 2011, Skov finally appears back to full health and put on a great performance against Oregon. The senior has sevent tackles for loss, including 2.5 sacks, on the season. Expect Skov to be a second or early third day selection.

Oregon head coach Chip Kelly called Stanford senior ILB Shayne Skov the leader of the Cardinal defense.

"They kind of thrive off of him," Kelly said. "He doesn't look like he’s slowed down, he looks like he did two years ago." The head coach even went on to say other teams have given up on the run because of Skov's play at the line of scrimmage. We doubt Oregon does that on Saturday.

Shayne Skov - LB - Cardinal

After a torn ligament in his left knee ended the linebacker's junior campaign after only three games, Stanford senior Shayne Skov's offseason went from bad to worse when he was arrested for a DUI in February.

Cardinal head coach David Shaw wanted to wait until after spring practice to declare a punishment for Skov, but the announcement has yet to be made. Despite the injury and the off field issue, Skov is still drawing first-round expectations by some. Regardless of how healthy Skov returns this season, he will be part of a deep and talented group of linebackers.
