I believe even if he has redshirted he can still get a medical redshirt.

Started a Dynasty with Houston so I could operate the Air Raid with Case Keenum. Lo and behold, he got hurt for the season during the 3rd Quarter of the 1st Game.....GRRRRR. So he's done for his career and it's a wasted dynasty.

In real life though, he would be given a medical redshirt if this scenario played out as it did. Coincidentally, Case Keenum did get hurt this year (mid-season) and was still granted a 6th year of eligibility I believe....

Medical Hardship Waiver

If a student-athlete suffers a season-ending injury or illness after competing in a limited amount of competition during a particular academic year, he/she may qualify for a medical hardship waiver which would allow him/her an additional season of competition during the five-year period of eligibility. To qualify for a medical hardship:

(a) the student-athlete’s injury or illness must occur in one of the four seasons of intercollegiate competition or subsequent to the first day of classes in the student-athlete’s senior year in high school;

(b) the injury or illness must occur prior to the completion of the first half of the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship in that sport and must result in incapacity to compete for the remainder of that playing season; and

(c) the injury or illness must occur when the student-athlete has not participated in more than two contests/dates of competition or 20% of the institution’s scheduled contests/dates of competition in his/her sport (whichever number is greater).

nice add to the convo!! Yeah Wiki says he was granted a 6th year. They definitely need to put this in the game, it happens more often than I even realized I guess.
