D1 Undergrad to D3 Grad?

<p>DS is currently a redshirt freshman on a D1 soccer team, pretty much warming the bench. Could be more of the same next year (Coach typically 12 kids). DS intends to graduate next spring and likely move on to grad school. He would have 2 years of eligibility left. Does anyone know the NCAA eligibility rules that apply in this situation? Can he only play D1 now? Are coaches ever interested in grad school players? I</p>

<p>In NCAA a player is permitted to play 4 years in a 5 year span. So if he has been in school for 4 years, graduating next spring, I assume that he would have only one left. Unless by saying he is a RS Freshman, he is finishing early, then you may have more, but if he took 5 years to get out then he is done.
I have no idea about the grad school player question… depends on coach/school I expect.</p>
