Five-Year Rule Changes Everything | Washington Huskies Football News

The NCAA just dropped a seismic rule change: the “five-in-five” policy lets players compete for five seasons within five years, killing the old redshirt system. For Huskies stars like Xeree Alexander, Landen Hatchett, Jacob Lane, and Alex McLaughlin — all poised to exit after this season — it’s a second wind. Coach Jedd Fisch, who’s always favored playing athletes when they’re ready, is thrilled. Players are buzzing about extending their careers, boosting draft stock, or chasing one more championship run. With multiple key starters potentially returning, the Huskies could see a major boost in continuity and competitiveness. This isn’t just a tweak — it’s a game-changer for college football’s future.
