Typically NCAA I, II, III, & NAIA have different eligibility rules. For DI, your eligibility starts when you start college regardless of if your on a team or not. You basically get 5 years to complete 4 seasons and indoor & outdoor track are considered different sports…as weird as that sounds (I think thats considered for all levels of NCAA). DII is you get 10 full-time semesters to complete 4 seasons…but don’t quote me on that. Not sure about DIII or NAIA. So I guess you will want to see which level you want to run at and then find out your eligibility potential. At any rate you can use this as your red shirt year and still have 4 seasons left over.
