Not likely.

Quote:Athletes must keep in mind both the five-year clock and their four seasons of competition. Even if an athlete gets a medical hardship waiver, he or she needs to have time left on their five-year clock (10-semester/15-quarter clock in Divisions II and III) to use that season.
This is problematic for athletes took a normal redshirt season or sat out due to a transfer. An athlete can generally not use a medical redshirt in those cases unless they get a clock extension or sixth year waiver. To do that the athlete show they lost two seasons outside of his or her control. The medical redshirt would be one, but the athlete would still need to show another.

Interesting! Thanks for educating me, BC. I had thought that if the second "redshirt" season was for injury that a player could take a hardship sixth year. I stand corrected. My data points, including Ellery Roberts, must have had their hardship sixth year granted because their first redshirt year was judged "out of their control" due to transfer rules.
So, to correct myself: This next year would have been Sean Barton's last year of eligibility.
