Based on the list
Jackal compiled for us, I think just about everyone listed on the roster as a Senior - except Blackshear & Miller - has the option of playing next Fall.
Please correct me if I'm wrong!
I just sort of rolled through the roster and realized that with the extra year of eligibility due to COVID, most of the team can return.
I actually think Blackshear has eligibility: he played full seasons in 2019, 2021, and 2022. In 2018 he played four games and redshirted. The COVID season wasn't a full season and doesn't count towards eligibility, I think.
My recollection is he entered the transfer portal last year with two years of eligibility and came back to Furman. I assume he still has a fourth "full" season to play.
Let’s see if we can work out some ‘rules’ to assess eligibility.
* ‘Rules’ will not include medical hardship years as that is a case by case determination
* Normally, Football Student Athletes have 5 seasons to play 4 seasons with 1 redshirt year (participating in up to 4 contests)
* Football Student Athletes enrolled during the 2020-2021 Academic Year have 6 seasons to play 5 seasons as 2020 (and/or Spring of 2021) didn’t ‘count.’
So…
1 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2022 and do not redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2025
2 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2022 and do redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2026
3 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2021 and do not redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2024
4 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2021 and do redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2025
5 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2020 and do not redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2024
6 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2020 and do redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2025
7 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2019 and do not redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2023
8 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2019 and do redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2024
9 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2018 and do not redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2022
10 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2018 and do redshirt, their last season of eligibility will be 2023
11 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2017 and do not redshirt, their last season of eligibility was 2021
12 - If Football Student Athletes arrived in Fall of 2017 and do redshirt, their last season of eligibility is 2022
So…for examples…
Huff - arrived in 2019. Played 2019 & 2020, Redshirted in 2021. So, he falls under Rule #8 and COULD play 2 more seasons after this year…into 2024
Blackshear - arrived 2018. Redshirted 2018. Rule #10. COULD play in 2023.
Miller - arrived 2019. No redshirt. Rule #7. COULD play in 2023.
Sochovka - arrived 2017. Redshirted 2017. Rule #12. 2022 is his “last ride.”…except, OOPS, he got a medical redshirt in 2021…outside the scope of our ‘rules’…so he can play in 2023 if his Geriatrician allows him to play.
Kyndel Dean - exact same timeline as Sochovka, assuming he got his MedRed for 2021 season, he’s eligible in 2023 also…with Geriatric approval
Adebayo - 2023
Vollmer - 2023 …if he gets MedRed for this season
Gissinger - 2023
Coleman - 2023
Wilkins - 2023
Shiflett - 2023 with MedRed in 2019
Abrams - 2023
Y’all can figure out the rest…if you would like…but FUBeAR believes the ‘answer’ is EVERYONE on the current roster is eligible to return next season if they want to AND if the Coaches want them to.
