If someone was in college athletics and dropped out in the first year can that athlete still come back to school and compete later Or would you have to redshirt to save those years?

If you ever played for that team you need to be redshirted for the years you remain in the school. If you never played and then dropped out, you could return and play at anytime. If you play one season and then drop put, I am not sure. It is not common for an athlete for drop out and then return.

Can a college player play baseball after graduation for a different college?
Well there are a couple of answers to this question.First, a player can play for a different college after graduation from one college if that college was a junior college or community college. So, if a player attends a junior college and graduates from that college with an associates degree then that person would have the opportunity to play college baseball at a four year institution. However, whenever a person first begins college their "clock" begins. This means that an student or student athlete when they first enroll into college would have 5 years in order to compete in four of them. This allows time for a redshirt. So when a junior college student transfers to another college they will generally have 3 years to compete in 2 season. Sometimes that may differ based on the circumstances of the individual athlete.Second, as stated earlier a student when the first step onto a college campus (whether they are an athlete or not) has five years to compete in 4 season. Therefore, if an athlete graduated from a different and competed in a different sport and only played four years in that other sport, they can then play their fifth year, in a different sport at a different college. However, the athlete can only compete in one seasons of competition. The perfect example of this would be Greg Paulus. he played four years of college basketball at Duke and then graduated from Duke and played one year of college football at Syracuse. Again, because of his clock he was only able to participate in one season. However, the big key to this is that the player must be enrolled into classes at said college. Therefore the student athlete must be either going to graduate school or obtain another degree.Finally, a person could play for a different college after graduation from one college if they transfer. This means that if a player was playing a sport at one college and graduated early (for instance 3 years) they could transfer to a different college and compete as long as they are going to graduate school or obtaining another degree. However, due to NCAA transfer rules that athlete must sit out one year of competition. This means that they can practice and workout with the team, but the cannot compete in games. Therefore they can transfer, sit out a year and attend graduate school and redshirt, then the next season they could compete in competition.
What is a red shirt freshman?
A redshirt freshman is a player who sits out their first year of attendance at a college. In NCAA rules you can only play four years. So if a team has a position already filled a player will redshirt for a year in order to maintain the full four years of eligibility for when the position opens up. When a player redshirts they are able to practice with the team and even play a minimal number of plays during the season.

He is a Redshirt** player currently in his Junior academic year**Redshirt is a term used in American college athletics that refers to a delay or suspension of an athlete's participation in order to lengthen his or her period of eligibility. Typically, a student's athletic eligibility in a given sport is four seasons, a number derived from the four years of academic classes that are normally required to obtain a bachelor's degree at an American college or university. However, a student-athlete may be offered the opportunity to redshirt for one year, which allows the athlete to spread those four years of eligibility over five years. In a redshirt year, a student athlete may attend classes at the college or university, practice with an athletic team, and dress for play but he or she may not compete during the game. Using this mechanism, a student athlete has up to five academic years to use the four years of eligibility, thus creating the concept of the "fifth-year senior."
