Someone broke it down on another site (intermat i think), idk if this is exactly what they said but it’s close:
20-21: won as a true freshman, but this was the free Covid year that didn’t count against anyone’s eligibility
21–22: injured in the car accident which I think was in 22. (Will be applying for medical redshirt for this year)
22–23: was not enrolled and did not compete as he was dealing with his sexual assault accusations (used as a regular redshirt)
23–24: wrestled unattached at Iowa first semester, kicked off team after soldier salute (claiming it as an Olympic redshirt year)
24–25: wrestled at CSU Bakersfield -1 year of eligibility used
25–26: wrestled at Nebraska -second year of eligibility used
26-27: has this year available for sure (3rd)
27–28: might have this year available as a fourth unless the NCAA does not grant the medical for 21–22. Technically the injury must occur in the first half of the season and they can’t wrestle at all in the second half of the season so the medical red shirt might not be granted because it occurred late January or early February if I recall, but also NCAA hands out medicals like candy. If so, he might get this year back.
There’s also an interesting discussion I think on intermat about how liberally the Olympic red shirt is utilized, in that a lot of people take that redshirt year, but don’t participate in qualifying events toward making it to the Olympic team trials and in the discussion an argument is made that you should have to be working toward qualifying for the Olympics in order to utilize that redshirt.
