The only thing that determines your 5 year clock time is it starts the first semester you take a full class load. Even though Rollison signed with Auburn in 2009 if he did not take a full course load til 2011 at any 2 or 4 year school til the fall of 2011 then he would be a junior or RS Soph eligibility wise for the 2013 season.

Well, he was enrolled at Auburn during the fall of 2009 so his clock would have started there.

I did find this however on the transfer rules website which could explain how he could be a SO in 2012.

Five-year clock = In Division I, the first time you enroll in any two-year or four-year school as a full-time student, you start your five-year period of eligibility. You have five-calendar years from initial collegiate enrollment to play four seasons of competition — even if you are not enrolled in school at all or attend school part-time within that time frame.

10-semester/15-quarter clock = In Division II and III, you have 10-semesters or 15-quarters in which to complete all your seasons of competition. You use one of your 10-semesters or 15-quarters every semester or quarter you attended a two-year or four-year college and are enrolled full-time or are enrolled part-time and compete. Unlike Division I, in Division II or III, you are not charged during a term that you are not enrolled in school or attend school part-time.
