Okay, so I was surfing the web today, just doing my usual thing, and I stumbled upon this question about Shedeur Sanders and his years of eligibility. It got me thinking, so I decided to dive in and figure it out for myself. It’s not as straightforward as you might think!
Digging into the Rules
First, I hit up the basic NCAA rules. You know, the usual stuff about how many years a player can play. It seemed pretty clear-cut at first, but then I started thinking about redshirts, transfers, and all that jazz. It quickly became a bit of a maze.
- Started with the basics: Four years of eligibility, five years to complete them. Easy peasy, right?
- Then came the redshirt year: This is where things got interesting. A player can sit out a year and not lose eligibility.
- Transfers added another layer: Players who transfer schools can sometimes sit out a year, depending on the circumstances. It’s a whole thing with waivers and whatnot.
Shedeur’s Specific Situation
So, applying this to Shedeur Sanders, I had to look at his specific journey. He started at Jackson State, then followed his dad, Coach Prime, to Colorado. This transfer is the key part.
I spent a good chunk of time trying to find details about his time at Jackson State. Did he redshirt? How many games did he play each year? This was like piecing together a puzzle with some missing pieces.
- Jackson State: Found out he played there for two seasons and didn’t redshirt.
- Colorado: He’s playing there now, and it counts towards his eligibility.
The Conclusion
After all this digging and piecing together information, I have a better grasp on Shedeur’s situation. Basically, he used up two years at Jackson State, and he’s using his third year now at Colorado. That leaves him with one more year after this one. At least that’s my take on it.
Honestly, it’s a bit confusing with all the rules and exceptions. But that’s what makes it kind of fun to figure out, right? Anyway, I hope this helps anyone else who was wondering about Shedeur Sanders’ eligibility. It took some work, but I think I cracked the code, or at least a good part of it!
