I think one of the two were going to enter the portal based on who was the leading candidate. I think the staff went with the guy that didn't have a possible recurring injury. Plus, I think Carter is waiting in the wings in time.
Plus you get one more year out of Seth assuming he doesn’t transfer.
why would you get one more year of Seth? just his 4 years.
I had in my head that Gunnell only had one year of eligibility remaining. All of the COVID stuff has my years messed up I suppose.
It gets even more confusing when you consider that:
1. NCAA football players in general get 5 years of eligibility, of which they can play 4. The clock starts when they enroll in college.
2. COVID added the weirdness of giving everyone that was active that year an additional season.
3. Henigan started his eligibility here in 2021, after "the COVID year", so he gets 5 years of eligibility of which he can play 4. So standard eligibility runs out in 2026 (had he redshirted, he could have played the final four years.)
4. Gunnell started his eligibility clock in 2019, and used 2 years of his 4 allowed playing years at Arizona. His eligibility would have been exhausted in 2024. He was given a year back due to "the COVID year", and then he used an injury year last year.
If I'm not mistaken, that means that Gunnell's eligibility will run out in the 2025 season (not the 2026 season like Henigan), but Henigan not getting the COVID year means that both Gunnell and Henigan each have 3 years remaining. Three years of playing is 2023, 2024, and 2025.
