Taking a semester off?

I'm thinking about taking a leave of absence or somehow taking a semester off so I can play another season of football because our season got canceled this year. I'm at a D3 school so we don't have scholarships - meaning I'd have to pay for an extra semester if I didn't take a leave of absence.

Would this affect recruiting for IB? I'm a current junior and don't have a solid opportunity lined up for this summer so I was also thinking I might be able to go through recruiting cycle again.
