Every underclassmen is liable to ride the bench early in their careers. Steve isn't an automatic starter at Pitt or any other school he currently has an offer from.
Any other year, and Steve likely has his offer in hand, right now. Gray-shirt doesn't limit him to bench-rider for his entire career should he accept.

Agreed. The delayed scholarship also gives him a year to get bigger and stronger to play LB in the Big 10. Boekman benefitted from the extra year of physical maturity.
