He hasn't been given a redshirt, but I don't think he has any stats and I am not sure if he has actually played or not. I don't know if a redshirt is something you can claim retroactively though or if it has to be declared before the season (unless it's medical).
As long as the player has not played a single snap after the third game, that player is eligible for a red shirt season as long as a prior RS was not awarded.
Thats not the way it works anymore. If he plays 1 snap, he has to have a medical reason for not playing. Otherwise the shirt is wasted. Happened to Antavian Edison.
When did they shift from that 3 game grace period to zero snaps? I know coaches had wanted to shift it to four games but not necessarily the first four (when Alabama plays an FCS team in week 9 for example).
A while back. If you play 1 play your clock starts ticking unless you qualify for a medical redshirt. Been this way since for a while.
My understanding is all redshirts are effectively retroactive. It is not a gameday status that has to be declared or requires a player not to dress. At the end of the season, if a true freshman has not logged any snaps, then they have 4 more years of eligibility.
Agree, but my understanding is that once they step on the field for one snap they can no longer redshirt. They can dress every game and even travel but once that first snap is in the books it's game over. Was just curious if he had played and it sounds like he has.
I don’t remember the standard, but they need to be ruled out for a significant number of games. Obviously you can game the system, but an ankle sprain won’t do jt
No but I don't think it's hard to say someone is having recurring back spasms. Nor is that easy to disprove.
