Washington State linebacker Peyton Pelluer has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA, WSU confirmed Thursday morning.
Pelluer lost most of his senior season in 2018 after suffering a broken foot in the Cougars’ win over Oregon State on Sept. 16.
However, because the injury occurred so early in the season, Pelluer only played in three games last year, which made him eligible to petition the NCAA for a a medical redshirt waiver to get an extra year of eligibility.
Pelluer’s return as a sixth-year senior is huge for what will be a painfully young WSU team in 2018.
