Freeman said so at today’s press conference,

Louisville’s QB is in his 6th yr also.
You have 4 yrs of eligibility. Playing in more than 4 games counts as a yr. Ehen s freshman plays 4 or less games played is automatically granted a red shirt yr. Thereafter, you can petition the NCAA
for eligibility if you played 4 or less games for medical reasons or other legitimate reasons.
We have a punter who is going on 30 yrs old on the team using the same rules.

Notre Dame admissions must also approve separately.
They have to be admitted into a grad program. Botelho went to ND so it’s not a problem.
