Stan Parrish announced Friday that running back MiQuale Lewis was awarded his medical redshirt by the NCAA, allowing him to return for a fifth season.
Lewis told The Ball State Daily News on Jan. 13 that he received the extra year of eligibility, but the NCAA had not officially notified Ball State at that time.
Lewis missed eight games in 2007 after he tore his ACL in Ball State's loss at the University of Nebraska. He is the third leading rusher in Cardinals history, with 3,334 yards. He also holds Ball State's single-season rushing record and is a two-time All-Mid-American Conference selection.
Tight end Madaris Grant has also applied for a medical redshirt, but Parrish said the NCAA has yet to rule in his case. Grant tore his ACL in last year's loss to the University of North Texas.
