You're only likely to have one year as a starter either way. But I think he has a better shot at unseating Mauk next year this way than if he redshirted. Again, you're going to get the most out of his time here without the redshirt. This way you get 3 years of on field production rather than only two with a redshirt. The absolute longest the kid will be on the roster is 4 years. Pretty much a no brainer, like I said.
Nice to have a starter quality backup. Even if he only gets one year as the starter either way, you've gotten two backup years also. Instead of one, with one year not getting anything on the field from him. Last I looked 2>1.

It's the GP way. He wants to win and Lock's development is pivotal if Mauk goes down and in 2016. Remember Mauk was injured last year but played through it. Lock will jump right in of Matty gets banged up. I also think playing him is another recruiting tool for kids. Playing all these freshmen will only help recruiting. "You are a great player, and if you earn it you will be playing next season in the Zou."
