Jarret Doege and the West Virginia Mountaineers have to be counting their lucky stars. In 2019, when Doege transferred from Bowling Green, the NCAA’s proposal for allowing eligible players to play up to four games while still maintaining their redshirt was brand new. This meant that Doege was able to play in 3.25 games for the Mountaineers and maintain his junior status. This year, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, all NCAA players have been granted a free year of eligibility and the Mountaineers schedule will guarantee* (if all the games are played) them 10 games this season, with a Big 12 Championship and bowl game extras to possibly be included.
