Don't think a regular redshirt is an option. He already played in a game this season.
He/ the school could apply for a medical redshirt, but that might be about it in that regard.
Wasn't there some rule change being discussed about allowing red shirts with up to 4 games (no more than 33% of the season) played?
Did that rule change ever pass and take effect?
A special case involves the eligibility of a player who loses the majority of a season to injury. Popularly known as a medical redshirt, a hardship waiver may be granted to athletes who appear in fewer than 30% of team competitions (none after the midpoint of the season) then suffers a season-ending injury. Players granted such a waiver are treated for the purposes of eligibility as though they did not compete in that season.
Eerily reminiscent of J Hunter primed for a breakout season and going down on the first series in the Swamp a few years ago. I swear it feels like we are cursed.
OTOH, Callaway was very impressive. He's got a little CP in him.
Are you sure you're not thinking of a medical redshirt as a result of an injury?
