That's why he could only play 1 year.
He played 2 years for us.

I always just assumed he didnt enroll. Maybe he did

OK, maybe it was 2 years and not just 1. But yeah, it was because he enrolled right out of HS, then got drafted and decided to go play baseball. So he must have given that a try for 3 years, leaving him 2 to go back to LSU.

Easy answer - 5 years to play 4 seasons. Cock starts whenenrolled.
If out of school clock continues to run. Eligibility to resume is dependent upon meeting required hours accumulated and required grade point average.

Could get a 6th year if necessary if reason out of school is some type of hardship or extenuating circumstance. NCAA must approve. Example might be Chad Jones auto accident type injury requiring massive rehab and preventing reasonable return to school.
