You know if Richmond were the 3 and gone tackle that everyone thought he was, he would not have RS.
This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever seen on this site. Plenty of stud OLs red-shirt. In fact, true freshmen starting at OL is more an indictment on the current depth than red-shirting is for a freshman OL.
Here are some first-round OLs in the past four drafts that red-shirted.
'15: Brandon Scherff, Cedric Ogbuehi, Cameron Irving
'14: Greg Robinson, Taylor Lewan, Zack Martin
'13: Lane Johnson, Jonathan Cooper, DJ Fluker
'12: Matt Kalil, Riley Reiff
That's 11/21 first-round OLs who red-shirted. That doesn't include guys who played different positions or played just enough snaps to burn their redshirt.
I understand that Ole Miss has managed to have two elite left tackles recently, but don't act like taking a red-shirt proves somebody isn't talented
