How can a college athlete in the United States have seven years in a collegiate sport?

467 views

Watching LSU Florida State game and overheard one of the commentators say that one of the players had seven years in college football? I don’t know that much about college sports, but even if you take into account red shirting and the extra COVID time, seven years doesn’t seem like it should be possible.

Medical redshirts likely. If you get hurt and miss a full season or most of a season the NCAA can grant you extra eligibility to make up for it
