Every Oklahoma State Cowboys Basketball Player’s Eligibility Under New NCAA 5-for-5 Rule

Oklahoma State men’s basketball coach Steve Lutz put together one of his more unique rosters for the 2026-27 season.

He lured one of the best recruiting classes in the country, one that included a quartet of four-star recruits. He signed a targeted transfer class to provide offense and bolster key areas that were lost to either graduation or the transfer portal.

And while he only has a few holdovers, several of those players were either key to last year’s 20 victories or figure to be heavy contributors this season.

Best of all, he won’t have to choose which ones to redshirt.

The NCAA has passed its new “5-for-5” legislation. This is the new rule that changes the eligibility structure of college athletics, removes redshirts except in extraordinary situations and gives student-athletes five years to play five years. That eligibility period will start at either full-time college enrollment or during the academic year following their 19th birthday

While the rule won’t be fully implemented until the fall of 2027, the NCAA is going to apply it to current student-athletes. The NCAA will assess current eligibility based on the new standard and then, if necessary, reclassify the athlete based on which rule benefits them more.
