He is not a freshman in any way, he is a sophomore. The bonus Covid years is tacked on to the end and people have been referring to those such as Jason Carter as "Grads" or "Fifth Years."
Actually, that isn't always the case and perhaps that is not the most common way they are referred. Just like if you have a redshirt your class doesn't advance on how you are listed on a roster it looks like most schools are listing that way. SC-Upstate has Floyd Rideau listed as a freshman even though he played in nearly every game last year. Ohio's men's roster is NOT listed like that though. Sears is listed as a SO, Brown and Roderick JRs, and BVP as a SR and such. The women's roster is listed the typical way. Johnson is a JR. Mace and Pope are still Freshman even though this is their 3rd year on the roster. I also think the football team did it the more normal way. Rourke played in all of the last three years but I think he was still listed as a FR. It seems to me that the later way is most likely become the standard next year.
