final year of NCAA eligibility. However, since he only played five games this year because of injuries, he might be able to appeal for a medical exemption. Typically, the cut-off for redshirting is a maximum of four games. However, sometimes there are exceptions given to injured players.
If Uiagalelei receives a medical exception and can return to the NCAA next year, he could stay with Florida State or transfer. It is unclear how much attention he would get as a transfer candidate.
