Every WVU Football Player’s Eligibility Status Under the New NCAA Rules

Looking at the Mountaineers' football roster after the NCAA adopted a new eligibility model.

We've already hit on what the NCAA's new five-year eligibility model means for the baseball and men's basketball teams at West Virginia, so let's go ahead and round out the conversation with the football team.

From my understanding, a player who redshirted under the previous eligibility rules will not get that year back. Maybe that changes, but for now, it counts against your five-year clock. So a redshirt freshman will still have four years of eligibility remaining, in most cases.

There may be some cases where a waiver could be approved (or denied) by the NCAA for situations that happened during or before the 2025-26 academic year. Those requests can still be filed up until July 31, 2026. Beyond that date, the NCAA will no longer review requests from that time period.

Here is a breakdown of what the remaining eligibility should look like for West Virginia's football roster.
