So I believe if Cole applies, he should get another year of eligibility. The rule is you get 5 years to play 4 seasons. Greyshirt and missed seasons due to medical reasons due not count against eligibility. A Miami TE just finished his 9th season in college due to missing so much time to injury’s. Here’s a breakdown of Cole’s seasons.
2018-Greyshirt, does not count against eligibility.
2019-Fr, played in one game but was healthy all year. Redshirted.
2020-Covid year, does not count against eligibility.
2021-RSFr, played in 13 games.
2022-RSSo, played in 13 games.
2023-RSJr, missed entire season to injury.
2024-RSSr, played in 3 regular season games and 2 post season games, which should not count against his eligibility.
Honestly, by the standards the NCAA is setting by allowing multiple extra years due to injury, and the rule of 5 to play 4, Cole should have 2 more years of eligibility if he wants, with only playing 2 full seasons in ‘21 and ‘22.
