At the start of the current season (D3), I was pleasantly surprised to discover I had a Senior sticking around for a fifth year.

Q: How (if) are you able to tell that a Juco (which is what he was/is) or Transfer will have that eligibility?

I thought that the only Sr/5 players were those that were academically ineligible to play their freshman year.  They then had 4 years of eligibility remaining

The player card shows him as a transfer from Fairmont St. If you look at his season stats, you can see the line that reads "Academic Non-Qualifier" below the transfer message. That's your indication...at D3, the player will stick around for that Sr/5 season every single time I believe.

At D3, ineligible players can play right away. The Sr/5 only applies to D1 and D2.. Since the player in question started at D2, he was ineligible his first year. Then he transferred to D3.   This is an unusual situation that rarely happens.
