A couple notes. To get a hardship waiver for two years (that is a sixth year), you have to have lost two years due to injury. You can’t voluntarily redshirt one year and get a sixth year if you then subsequently lose a year due to injury.  Secondly, you have to request the hardship and the NCAA doesn’t always grant it.

That's what I've always thought. But it seems like players such as Peek and Hamilton redshirted their true frosh years for preparation and growth, not injury, as, until last year, was the custom for just about every true freshman at Stanford.
