That rule is a decade old. One play anywhere on the field, you cannot redshirt absent an NCAA waiver.


that is true, only if you are talking about a non medical redshirt. If you played in less than 30% of the teams games, you can apply for a medical redshirt. I believe that is the plan with CG. For the most part, when teams apply for this, they can usually find justification for it, and it is typically approved.

Medical redshirts (which are actually called Hardship Waivers) are only granted at the end of a collegiate player's career under current NCAA rules.

Here is some information from the BC athletic department explaining the rules if one is interested.
