Can a college football player gray shirt and then also red shirt?

Answer 1

A player that greyshirts starts his 5 year athletic eligibility the 2nd semester of his first year. He can then redshirt the following year and have 3.5 years of eligibility remaining. Since football is a first semester sport, he can then play 4 full seasons of football, having practiced with the team an additional 2 years, one as a grey shirt (practicing in the fall but not becoming a student until the spring) and one as a red shirt (enrolled and practicing, but not appearing in a game).

Answer 2

yes, they would have to either go for a 2nd undergrad or start a masters program at that school. Or if the player wants to transfer, they must enroll into a grad program not offered at the university they just graduated from

Answer 3

yes, a redshirt football player CAN play in games. However, if they do play, even a single down, they lose their redshirt status

Answer 4

No
