don't know about requesting the waver 3 yrs later?
the player should speak with the NCAA, they're pretty easy to talk to - they may not want to get into a hypothetical fill in the blanks conversation you since you're not directly involved

Based on what's in front of us, I'd be stunned if the NCAA said yes to the additional year.
With all due respect, it appears you want us to give you good news, not so much information.
Based on what you'd told us, it appears as if he tried to be ready in a relatively early part of the season, that his intent was not to seek a redshirt.
That he had to have additional surgery would probably have to be the basis of your argument. Either that, or you'd have to successfully argue that the school pushed, almost to the point of coersion, for him to be ready for the season. Then, you'd have to answer: why is he still there?
Also, there is no reason to believe the NCAA would look favorably on a request coming from an NAIA situation, even if the school isn't an NAIA school now.
Hey, I hope it works out for you. But don't count on it.

Perhaps the reason you have not had more replies is that no one knows of any rules that will help this player out.
No of us have the power to manufacture one for you.
AParent is correct, we can't answer the questions you are asking. Answers must be asked to and given by the NCAA and NAIA.
The NCAA rules are so difficult to read and interpret, that is why they hire someone for compliance issues.
I think that would be the best advice to give your friend.

You might have already seen this but here is a very recent bulletin off the NCAA website on Medical Hardship Waivers.
Note the need for the documentation and the need that the documentation be concurrent with the year in which the hardship waiver request is being made. As I read this, there must be medical certification during the particular year involved which substantiates the inability to compete during that year, for medical reasons.
