[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 536168, member: 198"] This is right. One of the criteria for the medical waiver is that the redshirt year was taken because of an injury, not to just get bigger and stronger. If his freshman redshirt was because he was rehabbing (and I seem to remember that too), then his situation is the exact reason they made the rule. Edit: I looked it up anyway. The rule has been modified slightly. [LIST] [*]The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school. [*]The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury. [*]The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season. [*]The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]An athlete can generally not use a medical redshirt in cases where they have already used a redshirt unless they get a clock extension or sixth year waiver. To do that the athlete has to show they lost two seasons outside of his or her control. The medical redshirt would be one, but the athlete would still need to show another. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
