TSteven you are correct a member of an athletic team can red shirt there Freshman Sophmore Junior or Senior year. I played soccer in college and alot of girls reshirted there freshman year because they new they weren't going to get alot of playing time and did want to lose a season of eligibility.
Most athletes there sophmore junior or senior redshirt for medical purposes hurting a knee or ankle preventing them from playing. However if a person has participated in more then a certain number of games in the season they will not be eligible to reshirt. Medical also includes mental reasons illnesses sometimes a person can even get a redshirt for family problems an example might be if God forbid someone passed away. If anyone has any questions I know alot about things like this feel free to PM me
