Just gonna mean more tears in your gumbo in a couple of weeks.

I have not followed his story but why does he get a 6th year?

The argument is that he should be granted a medical redshirt because he suffered from severe tonsillitis and due to this underwent a tonsillectomy.

During the 2022 season at Ferris State, Chambliss dealt with chronic tonsillitis and respiratory issues that kept him from playing, leading to a redshirt year, but the actual tonsil removal surgery happened significantly later. This timeline became a central point of dispute in his legal battle with the NCAA over a medical hardship waiver for that 2022 season. Opinions on Reddit are mixed regarding whether his chronic tonsillitis and the timing of his eventual surgery justified a retroactive medical redshirt, with some debating the severity of the condition versus standard recovery timelines

LSU fans are irate because they don’t understand how severe tonsillitis affects someone or that the recover time for an adult tonsillectomy is vastly longer than for kids. Either way, it becomes a judgement call on whether that qualifies for a medical redshirt. The fact that the underlying issue that led to the surgery caused him to miss a year is the argument on why he should get it. Many people believe that missing a year of football due to a medical issue warrants a medical hardship waiver, i.e. a medical redshirt and an extra year.
