Are medical redshirts more difficult to get than a redshirt? I know when Keith was on UC's team in 1997 he dressed every game and was the #2 (the #1 never went out and therefore he wasn't needed) then at the end of the year he was given a redshirt, even though he wasn't aware he would be redshirted. I thought that the player and coach have to apply to the NCAA for a medical. Regardless, Jay should get one and have an extra year as a Bobcat.
