The redshirt year is usually given to freshman.
Is there such thing as a regular (not medical) redshirt given to those other than freshman? Or in the second, third years is it given as a medical? Just curious, can't find it.

A player can take a redshirt year at any time, up to and including what normally would have been his senior year.

I've also seen in football where even though someone had already redshirted a year believe it or not they can appeal to the NCAA for a sixth year if they had to miss an additional year due to a medical issue. I'm sure the same applies to baseball or any other sport
Yes you can take a regular redshirt and appeal another year for medical. It is almost aways granted especially if the injury prevents a player from playing (eg surgery).
I wasnot aware that redhirt can be taken in any year.
Thanks

Is redshirt just for medical? Will it prevent College Coach's from offering scholars? Will the phrase "Redshirt" scare recruiters off.
"Redshirt" is the term to describe having a year of college not count toward the 4 years an athlete can play, once he is already in college. A "regular" redshirt is a year where a player practices but participates in no games at all. No NCAA approval is necessary but the school reports the player as redshirting. A "medical redshirt" is when a player because of injury misses most of a season and is allowed to not count that season toward the 4 years of playing eligibility. There are limits on how much the player can play and still be eligible for the medical redshirt and NCAA approval is required I believe.
Different rules apply at the DIII level as compared to DI and DII.
Not sure about your question as non-college players don't "redshirt".

I have another question with relating to redshirting........ Div 1 SEC school.
When and how does the school declare that a player will be redshirted (not a medical redshirt)and who do they need to declare this to?
Once the player has been offically redshirted, my understanding is that if by chance the coaches want the player to "un redshirt" it is totally up to the player to decide if he wants to do so. Is this correct?

It has happened at CU.
