The NCAA’s recently adopted move to a five-year eligibility limit could put a serious damper on next year’s All-Geezer Team. However, for this, our sixth annual edition, there was still no shortage of Van Wilder seventh-year archetypes.This year’s list includes what may be America’s last remaining players with free 2020 eligibility (silly us, thinking that ended last year) — and even a few who began their careers in the 2010s. They include a Chris Petersen Washington recruit, two Mario Cristobal Oregon signees and two members of Mel Tucker’s first Michigan State team.(Note: We picked 11 players on offense and defense but did not limit numbers per position.)OffenseQB Max Johnson, Georgia SouthernFirst season of college football: 2020Johnson, who led this team last season as well, is now on his fourth school in seven years after spending two seasons each at LSU, Texas A&M and North Carolina. Injuries have repeatedly derailed the one-time SEC starter (his best season came in 2021 at LSU), who has played in just 17 games over the past four seasons. By year’s end, though, he’ll be able to say he was coached by all of the following: Ed Orgeron, Jimbo Fisher, Mack Brown, Bill Belichick and Clay Helton.QB Billy Edwards Jr., North CarolinaFirst season of college football: 2021Edwards returns to the state where he began his career six years ago, at Wake Forest. He did not play in his one season there, transferring to Maryland, where he eventually ascended to the starting job in 2024. Edwards then left for Wisconsin and became the Badgers’ Week 1 starter but unfortunately suffered a season-ending injury in the first game. Now he’s Belichick’s hand-picked guy to replace Gio Lopez, who himself is now at … Wake Forest.QB Avery Johnson, Kansas StateFirst season of college football: 2023Yes, he’s only entering his fourth college season, but the Kansas native first made headlines in 2022 as the rare blue-chip QB to commit to K-State. His status as unofficial anointed savior helped cause then-incumbent Will Howard to transfer to Ohio State in ’24. The now-third-year starter has yet to live up to the hype, ranking outside the top 60 in passer rating the past two seasons, but he’s reunited with one of his former position coaches, now head coach Collin Klein.QB Noah Fifita, ArizonaFirst season of college football: 2022Fifita’s long tenure as QB1 feels like it has spanned more eras than Taylor Swift. Act I: The then-redshirt freshman teams with star receiver Tetairoa McMillan to lead Jedd Fisch’s final Arizona team to a surprise 10-win season. Act II: After Fisch leaves and Brent Brennan replaces him, McMillan and the Wildcats regress to 4-8. Act III: Predicted to struggle again, Fifita and Arizona bounce back to go 9-4. Stay tuned for this season’s album release.QB Noah Kim, Eastern MichiganFirst season of college football: 2020The seventh-year senior earned his undergraduate degree three years ago and will turn 25 during the season. Kim was very briefly a Big Ten starting quarterback — for five games at Michigan State in 2023. He was even the Big Ten Player of the Week for his Week 2 performance against Richmond. An injury cut his season short, after which he left for Coastal Carolina, spending one season there as a backup. But he finally found a home last year at EMU, where he threw for a MAC-leading 2,817 yards.QB Mitch Griffis, East CarolinaFirst season of college football: 2020We’ve come to our second former Wake Forest quarterback. Griffis spent his first four seasons there, culminating in a rocky nine-game stint as starter in 2023. After initially committing to Marshall that offseason, Griffis announced in June ’24 that he was retiring from football — and he did, taking a job pouring concrete. But then he suddenly resurfaced last season as a third-stringer at Texas Tech. Now he’s in the Sun Belt, competing for ECU’s starting job with another (brief) 2023 ACC starter, Miami’s Emory Williams.Alton McCaskill has missed an entire season and enrolled at three schools since rushing for 16 touchdowns as a true freshman at Houston. (Brian Murphy / Icon Sportswire via Getty Images)RB Alton McCaskill, Sam HoustonFirst season of college football: 2021McCaskill is a textbook case of “Whatever happened to that guy?” As a true freshman at Houston in 2021, he ran for 961 yards and 16 touchdowns to earn American Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year. It’s been rough sledding since. After missing the next season to injury, he joined Deion Sanders’ first Colorado team but shut it down after four games. From there, it was on to Arizona State, where he notched just seven carries in 2024. Then to Sam Houston, where he ran for 370 yards last season. Then, for once, he stayed put.TE Rocky Beers, OklahomaFirst season of college football: 2021Admittedly, Beers made this list mostly because of his name. Google “Rocky Beers real name?” (Yes, it is.) On the field, the 24-year-old has bounced from Air Force, where he barely played, to FIU, where he caught 18 passes in 2023 before missing nearly the entire 2024 season. He wound up at Colorado State, where he finally broke out last year with 388 receiving yards and seven TDs. Now he finally gets a P4 shot, at the alma mater of his sister, WNBA rookie Raegan Beers.
