“Webb, 22, was entering his fifth-year junior season this fall.”
Huh?
It used to be they could sit out one year for developmental reasons ("red-shirt") and then be considered a freshman the following years for athletic purposes. When they get to year 5, they would be a fifth-year senior (sometimes still finishing undergrad work, sometimes in grad school academically.)
They then loosened rules to allow athletes to apply for another year of eligibility if they missed all or most of a season due to injury.
Then for the shortened 2020 COVID season, they gave a blanket extra year of eligibility for all athletes whose season was shortened (which was basically all of them.)
I think it's possible to have a 7th-year senior now, and 5th -year juniors are fairly common.
