John Elway was 19 and a year older than the rest of our class when we enrolled as freshmen. I don't think I ever heard an explanation why that was the case.I could've sworn there was a passage about that in Jason Cole's book, but now I can't find it, so perhaps I was just dreaming.
I don't know if there was a passage in Cole's book about it, but it's in Mark Gonzales' book review:
"It didn’t hurt that after years of playing against older kids, Elway and his twin sister, Jana, a former tennis player at San Jose State, were held back a year in school to physically mature."

Elway was born June 28, 1960. the cutoff date in California is September 1, so Elway was just a few months older than the maximum age, and was a 19 year old freshman in 1979 at Stanford.

Anyone know if Washington or other schools on the quarter system have early enrollees in the winter quarter?
