Hamlin granted sixth year of eligibility at Eastern

Ronnie Hamlin has made up for lost time, and now the Buck Buchanan Award candidate will get one more season to make it count.

Nearing the Eastern Washington record with a career total of 361 tackles in 40 games, the linebacker will return for the 2014 season after being given a sixth year of eligibility to replace two other seasons wiped out because of injuries.

He originally hurt his left knee in 2009 - just three days before EWU began its season. He had surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament on Oct. 21, but then tore the ACL again during spring practice in 2010.
