[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3282120, member: 26737"] That's basically it, although some players can get an extra year due to extenuating circumstances--f'rinstance, Jason White was granted a second redshirt year because of a season-ending knee injury early in the season (giving him a sixth year of eligibility). It used to be that you'd only refer to a player as a redshirt freshman or maybe a redshirt sophomore, but over the last decade or two, it has become more common to refer to upperclassmen as redshirt juniors/seniors. My guess is that the increasing occurrence of players leaving early for the NFL draft has something to do with it, but it could just be lazy journalism... As for the graduate transfer, I don't think that gives you any extra eligibility, it just means that you don't have to sit out a year, and I don't think the school you're leaving can block your transfer.
