No. You are still a nonresident because you are exempt for any part of five calendar years beginning with 2017.
Here is the IRS example:
W was a citizen and resident of a foreign country immediately prior to entering the United States. W is temporarily present in the United States as a graduate student at a university on an F-1 visa (student visa) and had never been in the United States before arriving on 08-15-2016. Assuming W substantially complies with the requirements of the visa, does not change immigration status, and remains in the United States throughout 2021, determine W’s residency starting date.
Solution:
Date of entry into United States: 08-15-2016
Student F-1 visa
Exempt individual for 5 calendar years (2016 through 2020)
To determine whether W met the substantial presence test (183 days), begin counting days on 01-01-2021.
Number of nonexempt days in United States during 2021: 365 days
