Someone good can step into those positions, even FR. However, seems like Coach is building for long term (the right way), so necessity will dictate whether he has the time to hold a good FR out.

I was just about to say the same thing. I expect to see some true freshmen play on defense. On offense we may we a true freshmen rb, linemen fill in, or wr step up. All the returning players on offense from last year have a huge advtange running the GO GO GOLESH offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was in on some of the bowl practices, so his learning curve for the offense won't be as steep as some kids coming in for fall. Don't know if Jey'Quan Smith's redshirt was burned this year or not. Saw him get a few snaps in at the end of the bowl game. He's a dude I'm watching for next season. Kid can flat out run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I think we see most if not all true freshman redshirt unless necessity dictates they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Participated in 2 games so redshirt should be intact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuttling players in and out will not meet his stated goals. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say the same thing. I think some of these freshman D-linemen are going to see the field this year. Too much talent to redshirt them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
