TMC Which freshman do you think we are redshirting?

I'm not TMC, but here's my guess:

QB - none. Allen has to play

RB - N/A

WR - Jeffery.

TE - N/A

OL - all of the freshmen

DL - Jarrett Johnson

LB - None (Shaan Washington may redshirt)

DB - None

I think Nacho will redshirt

I don't know how Washington can redshirt and still give us a decent rotation at Nose. Right now, all we have there are Walker, Henderson, and Washington. If Washington redshirts, we are one injury away from having no backup.

first as Farmer rightly points out, this isn't EA Sports and you don't have to submit a list of redshirts before the season. You just roll with what happens.

Second, Tyler Godwin is also at the position and has gotten most of the 3rd team reps. They plugged Washington into the scrimmage to see where he was and he'll almost certainly get more chances today and friday, but right now, I'd lean to agreeing with Farmer. There's no need to waste a year of a guy playing 10 plays all year.

For the most part, they are predisposed to the idea that you only play one freshman at a position because that way you don't overcrowd it. It's why a guy like Manning redshirted. The last thing you want is 3 guys in one class at one position because it makes building a pipeline damn hard. You have a limited number of scholarships so you want to space them out so you've got a guy developing to replace the starter.

We already have 2 freshmen DTs (Manning, Henderson). I think they'd prefer to redshirt Washington. It's up to him to prove they can't.
