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

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.

You already normally get 5 years of school to play 4 of them, then you add the fact that everyone’s eligibility got extended 1 year bc covid. Then all it takes is some hardship or medical request that got approved, which gives the 1 more year making it 7.
