Redshirt question?

You can decide to redshirt at any time during the season. The redshirt is granted at the end of the season, but only if the player has not participated- that means zero participation in championship season games. A medical is a different story and has to be done via petition to the NCAA. Limited participation is acceptable depending on review of the medical circumstances.

so i can decide to redshirt in the spring, even though its my sophmore season on the field, and than maintain that year of eligability?

and if i transfer back home to a school but not plan on being on the team can i still redshirt?

Unfortunetly the player doesn't always get the choice when it comes to redshirting.
Due to roster limitations and scholarship money being tight, you could redshirt but be released as a senior. So be careful what you ask for. Spizzle is correct, redshirt is granted AFTER the championship season and the reshirt status is given to you upon entry of your next season, the coach cannot grant anymore than were used the following year.
If you were hurt while playing or practicing for your team and cannot play, you should be granted the waiver with no questions asked. If it was done on your own time, it's very difficult to get.

What division do you play?

i played NJCAA D1 but i hurt myself during a game and i may be ready by the season, barely or not at all so im not sure if il be able to get a medical.
the thing is il most likely be transferring to a NJCAA school back home JUSt for the spring semester

I am not that familiar with JUCO redshirting rules, why not speak with your coach about it.

i will i just want to figure out as much as i can on my own first, and i dont want to come to him with a bunch of questions on a sensitive issue. i dont want to ask him hey, can i redshirt, ok im going home.
