I think to get a second redshirt/6th year eligibility, your first redshirt usually has to also be injury related (or something else outside of the player and institution's control)

I posted this on a similar thread awhile ago:

I don't think he qualifies for a medical redshirt since he already sat out a year while transferring:

[I]Athletes must keep in mind both the five-year clock and their four seasons of competition. Even if an athlete gets a medical hardship waiver, he or she needs to have time left on their five-year clock to use that season.

This is problematic for athletes took a normal redshirt season or sat out due to a transfer. An athlete can generally not use a medical redshirt in those cases unless they get a clock extension or sixth year waiver. To do that the athlete show they lost two seasons outside of his or her control. The medical redshirt would be one, but the athlete would still need to show another.
